I've never thought W had malice in his heart. The man was simply not as willful as the demon occupying the vice president seat while he was president. W honestly thought he was doing the right thing for others. That said, the man had his moments where I seriously questioned his intelligence. He made the ultimate pawn for Cheney.
He's not stupid, he attended the Phillips Academy then graduated from Yale and later Harvard. The folksy speech habits and texan drawl are an affection to drum up votes (note how his siblings speak, they grew up in the exact same areas). Don't get me wrong, Cheney is a gigantic asshole, but his purpose was to act as a political lightning rod for George. George knew exactly what he was doing.
Yeah. If you go back and look at his old debates, you clearly see that he didn't come across as the idiot he later would more portray himself as. Either it was a conscious choice, or he suffered a secret stroke.
