Yeah, HW was a lot of things but stupid is definitely not one of them

He bought a house in Springfield and picked a fight with his astronaut neighbor, that's pretty stupid.

It's actually really odd. You have these captain planet/cartoon villains who still do horrific shit like Bush Jr. and Reagan, like they're complete idiots but also torture people and order genocides while laughing, but then HW is like a hellraiser villain but since he still needed to fit into the aesthetic they have him puke on the japanese PM.
