Updated it without the quotes now so people don't get unnecessary distracted.
Could I ask you to post the quotes as a separate post? They are priceless (and I'd love to be able to see what they applied to -- so please include the references as well).
I should add, don't get a wrong impression from those quotes. I still believe he might actually be that smart. He's at least the smartest person I know of by what I've read. Except when it comes to public relations. You shouldn't say those things if you do not explain yourself sufficiently at the same time.
Now I'm curious what they were, and where they came from. Distract me, but in a sub-thread.
