and with using an everyday usage of the word "intelligence" I can say with some confidence that Howard Dean a-n-d Wes Clark are exceptionally intelligent people, probably smarter than ninenty eight, ninety nine percent of their contemporaries. To deny or dispute this is really quite silly IMHO....

I base this on the fact that Wes Clark was first in his class at West Point, a Rhodes Scholar , and rose to Four Star General and Supreme Allied Commander.....Just think of the all people Wes Clark had to outperform intellectually to reach this point... Out of an Army of 2,000,000 there are approximately thirty five four stars ...

Howard Dean became a physician after a stint as in investment banker... This transition is amazing in itself and given the exclusivety of medical schools and the fact that Howard Dean attended Albert Einstein, one of the better ones I have to conclude Howard Dean is one smart cookie....

To deny that either one of these men are exceptionally bright is just plain stupid...

My whole little discourse has nothing to do with the political acumen of these two gentlement but a noble attempt to set the record straight....
