well, to say that Bush is dumb is an opinion. So you need facts to support your opinion. You don't need to find some reliable source that comes straight out and says "Bush is dumb." But if I were to say Bush is dumb, I would cite things such as his (mis)handling of Iraq, Katrina, the war on terror, his inability to extemporaneously string 5 words together without losing his train of thought, the fact that he said he doesn't read newspapers or in fact expose himself to any news media, the fact that he refused to fire Rumsfeld until it was too late for his party, and countless other facts which would back up my opinion.
