*An example of a 'poser' would be somebody who's ignorant pretending to be smart.
Anne Coulter is a poser.*
That's a round-about way of calling her stupid. Any 3rd grader on a playground can do the same.....only with less posing in the process.
"Stupid" and "poser" are not synonyms. "Poser" is a closer match with "hypocrite" than it is with "stupid". And some hypocrites are extremely intelligent people.
Disagreement is not legitimate grounds for assuming a lack of intelligence on the part of another. That's one big mistake that GWB's enemies keep making.
In his own way, Bill Clinton is a very intelligent man. He isn't stupid.
That ain't a compliment.
But he is a poser par excellence.
