Presidential IQ's

Occasionally Bluester is inspired. Either that or he has fucking indigestion. He gets those two confused at times.

But I promise you, you are gonna' love this....

A report published last week by the Lovenstein Institute (www.lovenstein.org) of Scranton, Pennsylvania, detailed its findings of a four month study into the intelligence quotient of President George W. Bush.

The study says margin of error is 5%. Take a look at this list of modern era American presidents with their corresponding IQ's.

182 – Bill Clinton [D]
175 – Jimmy Carter [D]
174 – John Fitzgerald Kennedy [D]
155 – Richard M. Nixon [R]
147 – Franklin Delano Roosevelt [D]
132 – Harry S. Truman [D]
126 – Lyndon Baines Johnson [D]
122 – Dwight David Eisenhower [R]
121 – Gerald R. Ford [R]
105 – Ronald Reagan [R]
098 – George Herbert Walker Bush [R]
091 – George W. Bush [R]

Honestly, I just supposed everyone knew that GOP presidents would be a bit dimmer than their Democratic counterparts. No, I did. It's to be expected, isn't it? I mean, Jeebus, GOP'ers don't need no learning, and they sure as hell don't need no teaching in the area of government, negotiations, foreign policy, or scientific research. GOP'ers are way too smart to be duped by all those liberal, commie, atheist professors. They simply refused to listen in those classes. They already knew all the answers.

They know in their "gut". They know by consulting their "higher father". They have common sense.

They don't need no stinkin' high IQ, whatever the hell the ACLU is trying to do with a number like that anyway? Fucking ACLU.

Empirical data, consensus, overwhelming evidence? Who needs it? GOP'ers know because they just know. They're born with it. It comes with the silver spoon.

Let's be candid. I'm just not going to hold it all in like I usually do. How much intelligence does it take to break shit up? How much schooling do ya' really need? From the looks of things lately, I'm just sayin', maybe 6th grade elementary. I think that was when the slower boys were still playing with their plastic army men under the lid of the desktop. So, 6th grade it is. GOP president only requires 6th grade intelligence level. W fits right in when ya' look at it like that. A veritable fucking bookworm, even.

And we must give intelligence credit when the credit for it is given intelligently. (Reread that one) And here's a good place to insert this..... ol' Bluester comes in ahead of the best Republican but less than the top three Dems, and that seems about right to me.

Here's what the report says about W's strong points, if indeed he had any....

his lack of scholarly achievements other than a basic MBA,

George may not know, but MBA stands for Master's of Business Administration. George lacked any scholarly achievements, that stuff is for sissies and queers and atheists, nevertheless, he got an MBA.

Why is this significant? Let me put it this way. How can someone steal a whole bunch of other people's money and get away with it over and over and fucking over unless he learns how to do it oh-so-legally? I mean, Christ, that ain't easy. That's what the MBA degree is all about. Bush's "higher father" tells him who to kill and maim and how long to continue to do it, but his god doesn't know where all the loot is.

"Intelligence is as intelligence does" somebody's momma probably said at one point or another. I've been watching this bunch of genuises, led by Mr. 91, and what their intelligence has been doing. Ya' know what I see? The 6th grade boys with their desks and their pretend army men. That's what I see.
