2. 'Bush' is certainly a synonym for 'idiot'

'Cheney' is actually a synonym for 'psychopath' (see also Darth Vader, Hannibal Lecter, Voldemort, Dracula, etc.)

5. I'm glad you chose "idiot".....as I recall

idiot is of lower IQ than imbecile which is lower than moron! This is from my memory of schooling a long time ago but I think I remember it correctly because it's alphabetical! Calling * an imbecile or moron would be giving him more credit than is due. imho
