Actually the best guess on Bush's IQ is 130. After all he did learn to fly a jet fighter.
You're mistaking evil for ignorance.

I don't see what the Catholics are pissed about...how is this any different than, say, Jim Caviezel playing JC in "The Passion of the Christ?"

Why can't a person with an IQ of 130 pronounce the word "nuclear"?

To provide the straight answer to the humorous question ... in a true nativity scene, the Jesus isn't placed in the manger until Christmas day.
