HOW SMART IS BUSH?





I often hear leftists laugh at how "stupid" President Bush is supposed to be.



Now read on....



"George Bush's SAT score of 1206 (which is "the equivalent of a 1280 under today's dumbed-down scoring system").That's a superb score. In fact, as "Linda Gottfredson, co-director of the University of Delaware-Johns Hopkins Project for the Study of Intelligence and Society, told United Press International: "I recently converted Bush's SAT score to an IQ using the high school norms available for his age cohort. Educational Testing Service happened to have done a study of representative high school students within a year or so of when he took the test. I derived an IQ of 125, which is the 95th percentile." In other words, only one out of 20 people would score higher."



So if George Bush is smarter than 19 out of 20 people, that means he's probably brainier than 95% of the people who claim that he's "dumb". Can you ever remember a time when there were so many people who smugly and yet incorrectly presumed themselves to have a higher IQ than a man who was their intellectual superior"



Great take from John Hawkins over at Right Wing News.
