Not at all. Bush couldn't speak (I truly wonder if he is dyslectic) well publically, and surely was far more direct than normal for a modern day Politician. Certainly he made mistakes. But at Bidens level of dumb? Biden actually believes what he's saying. This isn't a joke flub, or a delivery stumble. Biden is delivering what he planned to say, it's just that he is so F'ing stupid when it's delivered it's almost unbelievable.
I stand by my statements...Bushs decisions had far greater magnitude, Bidens comments far deeper level of stupidity. Obama is an amazing Spender, but, I pray to god nothing happens to him. Caribou Barbie would be a better option that Biden.

I'm going to end with this here, as it's not really the subject. You Bush voters are nothing if not predictable. The well worn appeal of "Bush just isn't a good speaker" is the very definition of apologetic denial. I'm not denying that Biden says and probably believes some unfounded hilarious things, but I never heard him say, in all seriousness, that he "believes humans and fish can coexist peacefully." Compare their debates. Biden is gruff, but displays working knowledge of subject matter. Bush freezes and looks around for help, minutes of silence go by and he looks like he's pissing his pants - because he doesn't know what to say!
Eccentric gaffe prone politician != nepotistic retarded puppet politician. Both are bad in my book, one clearly worse than the other.
If Biden was as dumb as you believe, he simply wouldn't have the status of one of the best Washington insiders there is. He was chosen as VP for a reason, but his personalty brings baggage. Bush could probably contest Biden's knowledge on baseball, perhaps also fishing - but if you think he'd win any real test of smarts with anyone without realtime couching from handlers, then we need to speak about this bridge that's for sale...
If Bush was as intellectually capable as you guys wish he was, he wouldn't have a long history of avoiding education and responsibility, he wouldn't be synonymous with butchery of English and slow, short sighted thinking. He'd be doing something, ANYTHING, of merit like other past presidents, instead of painting pictures and clearing brush.
What am I saying? Shit, I'm sure the GWB Ivy League lecture circuit on Constitutional Law, Political Science and Emerging Economies will be starting any day now. Just wait. Really. It'll happen.
