It is not at all clear that the credibility of our current president *is* any better than that of a representative random quote from Hee-Haw.

Oh I tend to agree. But a US president in general has more credibility than Hee-Haw. That is, you can't come up to someone and say "guess what I heard on Hee-Haw" and expect anyone to take you seriously. Whereas you could actually say "The president said blah" and expect a decent percentage of the populace to give the quote some credence.

As for the Hee-Haw, W comparison, it was the first thing that popped into my mind since in my estimation the two are about on an equal footing ;).
