Re: LOL that's so funny
Not only did the NY Times prove that Bush has a higher IQ than Kerry (Bush is in the 95th percentile; Kerry is in the 91st percentile - see story below),
but now in the latest issue of Newsweek we disoover.......
Bush beat Kerry amongst high school graduates - 51% to 48%
Bush beat Kerry amongst college graduates - 51% to 48%
But Kerry beat Bush amongst those who didn't make it thru high school -
50% to 49%
Now, then, if you're all so smart, I wonder what you hysterical, disturbed Bush haters will be saying in 4 years if your doom and gloom predictions fail to materialize. Last month there were 338,000 new jobs...... The stock market crashed when fake exit polls had Kerry winning; then the market boomed when Bush won it.....
And, um, what passes for "intelligent" commentary in lefty circles are calls for blue states to secede from the union. Not only will all those millions of Bush voters in blue states take issue with that, but historians might note this is the democratic party returning to their despicable Confederate roots!
NY TIMES PROVES KERRY IS DUMBER THAN BUSH

Secret Weapon for Bush?

o 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 Air Force Officer 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.
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.
You might expect Kerry campaign officials, who have worried that their candidate's intellectual image turns off voters, to quickly rush out a commercial trumpeting these new results, but for some reason they seem to be resisting the temptation.
Upon hearing of their candidate's score, Michael Meehan, a spokesman for the senator, said merely: "The true test is not where you start out in life, but what you do with those God-given talents. John Kerry's 40 years of public service puts him in the top percentile on that measure."
