Great link.

Claim: According to a study by the Lovenstein Institute, President
Bush has the lowest IQ of all presidents of past 50 years.
Status: False.


Origins: No,
this isn't a real news report, nor does it describe a real study.
There isn't a "Lovenstein Institute" in Scranton, Pennsylvania (or
anywhere else in the USA), nor do any of the people quoted in the
story exist, because this is just another spoof that was taken too
seriously.

The article quoted above began circulating on the Internet during the
summer of 2001. In furtherance of the hoax, later that year pranksters
thought to register www.lovenstein.org and erecting a web site around
it in an attempt to fool people into thinking there really was such an
institute.
