How about "He has no claim to be", would that suit you at all (at all).

Sounds like Paris Hilton won't have to serve her full 45 days.
I can't see any reason why we shouldn't get early release too.

You've gone and mixed your verb (claim) with my noun ("claim") again.How can one have a claim to be pretentious.

No, I think you'll find you misused the word "pretentious".You've gone and mixed your verb (claim) with my noun ("claim") again.
Everything after that is just your wriggling (verb).

Looking for loopholes
I am quite happy to inform you of your complete misapprehension of my meaning.
Aren't you relieved.It's quite simple-
Pretense is affect, is it not?
Sometimes this affect is practiced by a person of accomplishment and substance...sometimes it is not.
Bush is certainly not of the intellectual elite, nor can he boast of a life of singular achievement; at least he doesn't pretend, as does, say, John Kerry, who is a completely empty suit.
How about your Mr. Brown?
Apparently a criticism of Mr Brown doing the rounds in Westminster is "the trouble with Gordon is that he is all substance" a reference to Blair being style over substance.
Gordon is a rather dour son of the manse given to presbyterian brooding and is considered a bit of an intellectual heavyweight. Can't see why he and George will not get onTo be fair George might be quite comfortable with Gordon's sterner Protestant outlook - but it will be a different relationship.
Recent television appearances have seen Gordon being bright and cheerful. I thought this might be rather pained but he seems to be doing it quite well, so he may yet be in with a chance of winning in 2009.

So Bush really is just a good ole boy, raised on a Texas dirt farm, educated in a one room school, a war hero who represents middle class American values?
That damn liberal media...
