No but Nixon was the greatest practitioner of Realpolitick and I think Hillary will be number #2 in that area. Maybe practitioners of it are smart (but it does require wide latitude in ethics and you have to be a little ruthless and willing to make deals with your rivals).

No, it does not. Otherwise, the Bushs would be included in that, and clearly he did not include them.
I haven't read the book yet (well, natch, not out yet), but likely he felt that they were thoughtful and savvy as to the ways of the economy.

LMAO. That's a good one.
Greenspan's book was basically written by his NYC elitist left wing liberal wife, Andrea Mitchell. His book is a tactic to get Democrats elected in '08. Especially, Hillary.

I think he means smartest as in IQ.

As far as education levels, I would have no reason to doubt his observation.
