Or Joe the Plumber/Joe Six-Pack for that matter! Gawd forbid that we might want our President to be smarter than the "average Joe". Sure would be nice to see a return to the days where intellectualism and intelligence were revered instead of reviled.
Just as an aside, I find it incredibly ironic that the ignoramus' on the right constantly rail against "Hollywood elites", yet there most reverent St. Ronnie came straight from Hollywood! Or Chuck Norris campaigning for the Huckster...I guess we can't let stupid little things like facts get the way of our pre-conceived notions and party talking points...
