Stupid? Probably. Craven? Absolutely!

I suspect that George W. Bush is no more stupid than most of the standard lackluster intellects that characterize the SUV-driving, leveraged up the wazoo, geo-politically ill-informed suburban Republican electorate. He is just far more craven. The architects of the Bush agenda and their zombies really believe that they are creating reality, and Niccolo Machiavelli is their patron saint.
