But still, the dubya flying F-102s was No Big Deal.

And attempts to turn him into some superman for so doing just
miss the mark completely.

No one is saying he's a superman, just that he had to have some sort of
smarts to make it through and train on an aircraft that was anything but
easy to fly.

For extremely small values of "some sort of smarts".

The amount of smarts required to pull down a "C+" average in
college seems to have been entirely sufficient.

It's really too bad that being president requires a few more
smarts than flying an F-102. Or getting a "C+" college GPA.
