POLITICAL POINTS
Secret Weapon for Bush?
By JOHN TIERNEY

To Bush-bashers, it may be the most infuriating revelation yet from
the
military records of the two presidential candidates: the young
George W.
Bush probably had a higher I.Q. than did the young John Kerry.

That, at least, is the conclusion of Steve Sailer, a conservative
columnist
at the Web magazine Vdare.com and a veteran student of presidential
I.Q.'s.
During the last presidential campaign Mr. Sailer estimated from Mr.
Bush's
SAT score (1206) that his I.Q. was in the mid-120's, about 10 points
lower
than Al Gore's.

Mr. Kerry's SAT score is not known, but now Mr. Sailer has done a
comparison
of the intelligence tests in the candidates' military records. They
are
not
formal I.Q. tests, but Mr. Sailer says they are similar enough to
make
reasonable extrapolations.

Mr. Bush's score on the a

Qualifying Test at age 22 again
suggests that his I.Q was the mid-120's, putting Mr. Bush in about
the
95th
percentile of the population, according to Mr. Sailer. Mr. Kerry's
I.Q.
was
about 120, in the 91st percentile, according to Mr. Sailer's
extrapolation
of his score at age 22 on the Navy Officer Qualification Test.

Linda Gottfredson, an I.Q. expert at the University of Delaware,
called
it a
creditable analysis said she was not surprised at the results or
that so
many people had assumed that Mr. Kerry was smarter. "People will
often
be
misled into thinking someone is brighter if he says something
complicated
they can't understand," Professor Gottfredson said.

That's odd, the study below seems just as plausible, and puts Bush
quite a bit lower:
WASHINGTON --In a report published Monday, the Lovenstein Institute

I knew that you'd be stupid enough to post that, so I intentionally
snipped the following part of the NY Times article just to make you
look
stupid. Congratulations for coming through as expected.



"Many Americans still believe a report that began circulating on the
Internet three years ago, and was quoted in "Doonesbury," that Mr.
Bush's
I.Q. was 91, the lowest of any modern American president. But that
report
from the non-existent Lovenstein Institute turned out to be a hoax."

Once again asslicker proves why he is "King of the NG idiots"

LMAO

Once again, Fritz proves he is very bitter over his wife running off.
Apparently, the divorce support isn't working too well. To pump up his
very flat ego, he has to resort to a tactic that small children use,
that is, start name calling. He's very good at it in a newsgroup,
hiding behind anonymity, again, like a child.

Now, go he http://www.lovenstein.org

You really are making it too easy for me. I almost feel guilty preying on
the stupid. But here goes:

The Lovenstein Institute
Note from a reader regarding the "G.W. Bush Has a Low IQ" hoax:

"Hmm, you said you could find no trace of the Lovenstein Institute. That's
strange, because a Google search yielded http://lovenstein.org/. I wonder
how much you actually researched this? In light of Bush's foreign policy
(or lack thereof) and decision-making processes, I find it hard not to
believe he has the IQ of kitty litter. Used kitty litter, to be specific."

Allow me to direct your attention to the WHOIS registration for
lovenstein.org, which states that the Internet domain wasn't created until
August 7, 2001 - one month after the infamous Bush IQ hoax began
circulating via email. Note, too, that the listing is full of phony
contact information. Whoever really owns the unabashedly anti-Bush Website
doesn't want their identity known. As for the fabled Lovenstein Institute
itself, I'm afraid it still doesn't exist, nor can wishing make it so.

If the note from the reader had the words "wild allegations", I'd be sure
that basskisser wrote it. Instead, I can only guess that he did.







But Chuck thought that Bassy provided quite an interesting link. LOL!
