Shrub: Lowest IQ of All Presidents of Past 50 Years

cool...I wonder if Dr. Lovenstein would test the IQs of BBS members by studying their post writings and chat transcripts.

A Yahoo! search "Werner R. Lovenstein," world renowned sociologist, produced all of six results....each having something to do with either a "Werner" or a "Lovenstein," but NONE of them having anything to do with the aforementioned.

A Yahoo! search for "Patricia F. Dilliams," world respected psychiatrist, yielded no results.

Perhaps Yahoo has a bunch of servers that are down for maintenance today. I would imagine that my own excessively low IQ would explain why I've never heard of these world renowned and respected individuals.

Of the 4 highest IQs on that list, two were impeached. The other two just sucked.

John F. Kennedy sucked ?

Pole,

There is a Werner R. Loewenstein, world renowned molecular biologist, though. Maybe the author just confused the two names and made this chump extra special.

Why are the Dems so much higher? I think a lot of those are inflated.

And there is no way that Reagan should score higher in this kind of thing than Bush, Sr.

Heypee,

That would be a very sad report.

Complete silence-their speech centers are destroyed-except for the crackle of sparks and the popping of singed flesh as they apply electrodes up and down the spine. White smoke of burning flesh hangs in the motionless air. A group of children have tied an idiot to a post with barbed wire and built a fire between his legs and stand watching with bestial curiosity as the flames lick his thighs. His flesh jerks in the fire with insect agony.

Getting yourself assassinated can almost always overshadow your current best claim to fame….that of being the world’s best known philanderer.

It’s a shame that a later president couldn’t have had that same opportunity.

They extrapolated Bush's IQ from public speaking appearances?

Does anyone actually think that an extrapolation using that method would be even remotely accurate?

And does anyone else find ironic the fact that this article, purporting to expose GW's lack of intelligence, is rife with grammatical errors? It looks like it was written by a sixth-grader.

I really have to disagree with this stuff they call research. What if one of them had written a children's book? Would they score there IQ on that? Also it is widely known that George W. Bush has dislexia. When he gives public speeches he has most likely mixed the words while reading from a tella prompter. I also disagree with George H.W. Bush's results. The man was head of the CIA in his hay day, he is one smart cookie.


Unless I see a link of some sort or any proof beyond any shadow of the doubt, I can not believe this.

I am sorry to be pulling another Pinetree but I want to know where University blue got his info.

Now that I have hit a 200 post count I fill my life has to come to a plateau.

Oh well.

Wow! you're sick.

I pity you, and suggest that you eat more fish. There is an obvious disconnect going on somewhere in the vast emptiness between your ears.

Where the **** do you get the idea that he was specifically talking about Clinton?

And I think it was pretty obvious that Pole was being ironic. Nobody would wish for a President to be shot.

 

Hmmm, let me think, which later president is known for having affairs?

Pole,

Whether in seriousness or jest, such a comment is in bad taste...as is defending it.

Pretty obvious he's referring to Kennedy. I read the implication as being that it's (sarcastically) unfortunate that no later president was assassinated so that his negative reputation(s) would be subsequently ignored. But I can see where the Clinton inference can be made. Pretty obvious in hindsight.

And what a surprise, Rimbaud thinks something I'm doing is in poor taste. There's a shocker.

 

Clinton 182? Hillary or Bill?





------------------
How long do I have to endure this ?

 

Oh come on, I mean, I laugh myself to sleep everynight thinking about Reagan and his alzheimers.

Jeez, just thinking about it right now, I can hardly type.

When you make an assumption, you make an ass out of Uma Thurman.

 

Don't forget Bush II's useable IQ is further lowered by dyslexia and attention deficit disorder. Or do you think this was already factored in?



------------------

 

That list makes me suspicious because of the former Bush's IQ. I didn't like the guy a ton, but I do have quite a bit of respect for him. Also, I read somewhere else (don't remember where) that only two Presidents were probably geniuses (above 150), and those were Thomas Jefferson and Woodrow Wilson. Don't know how they figured that out.

As for Reagan... wasn't it pretty well documented that his Alzheimers was affecting him greatly by his 2nd term? That would drastically affect any surmise as to his IQ. I wonder if it took a considerable dip from term-to-term .

I also wonder how they'd factor in speech writers, campaign style, etc. Once upon a time, candidates didn't "talk down" to the people like they do now. All of these "town meetings" cause them to use less vocabulary, etc.

MadMax: I actually like Nixon . Sure, he was sleazy, but most of his decisions seem to have been good in regards to policy. Why do you dislike Carter? he seems very... average, to me. And he was the most ethical person to ever take office .

Don't need a study to convince me that Shrub's an imbecile, though!
