It's almost never correct to judge politicians' intelligence - let alone their effectiveness as politicians - by looking at their malapropisms. Granted, politics involves more public speaking than most jobs. But many people, even very intelligent people, will say dumb things at some point if they do a lot of contemporaneous public speaking. Especially when their public speaking is reduced to writing.

Okay, sure. 99.999999999% of your party disagrees with that statement, btw. Let's ask this board's luminaries what they think of GWB's brainpower. Or Palin's. Or any Republican.

The difference is...AOC is really and truly an idiot.

BTW, no one's appointing her JFK. She's more a young Bernie Sanders. Who you might have noticed is a not especially telegenic older male, but is revered by the base because he's good with the base and has the politics that match what (part of) the base wants.

Bernie occupies a different swim lane than AOC. He's the Curmudgeonly Old Guy Who You Should Listen To Because He's Old And Curmudgeonly.
