Smart" as in "Ass"
Barack Obama, for example, has obviously been crowned a Smart Person
virtually from the moment he entered the national scene. Now, there is zero (0) evidence i can see that Barack Obama is all that smart, at least not any more so than tens of millions of other folks. But he is definitely a Smart Person. Even I can see that. Just look at how he... um... talks in soft tones while wearing a suit, raising his eyebrows in concerned ways, and being skinny (?). Well okay, it's not clear how or why I or anyone else knows or thinks that he's Smart, what is clear is that we just do.
Another example came in the 2004 Bush v. Kerry campaign. Everyone, including Kerry, knows that Kerry was the Smart Person candidate and that Bush was a Dummy. So dumb! Not like Kerry. Lanky, graying, concerned-eyebrow, pronouncing-Genghis-like-âJenjisâ John Kerry. So Smart! Obviously, the Smart People all wanted Kerry to win on account of how Smart Kerry was. But again, objectively, there is zero evidence that John Kerry is one whit smarter than George W. Bush. None. In fact if anything there may be evidence to the contrary. -- The Smart People Crowd « Rhymes With Cars & Girls

Convair F-102A Delta Dagger*. Let's see all of the smart people qualify to take that craft off the ground, go supersonic, make an intercept, engage the target, and then land. Repeatedly.
*It was never an easy aircraft to fly.
