Most of us agree, Dubya is not the most elequent president we've ever had. Now for the those of you on the board who support bush...I do realize these quotes are taken out of context, but I welcome you to explain to me how an intelligent man makes so many blunders in speech? At any rate these are good for a few belly chuckles.

Here are just a few:

Bush's IQ is estimated at being between 124 and 137.

Bush scored a 1206 on his SAT, 566 of 800 on verbal and 640 of 800 on math. [Since the SAT's scale has since been "recentered," Bush's score is more like a 1300 today.]

Bush's verbal score would place him between the 84th and 92nd percentile of college-bound students, or the 93rd to 97th percentile of ALL high-school seniors taking the exams, the percentile usually used.

His math score would also place him between the 84th and 92nd percentile of college-bound students, or the 94th to 98th percentile of ALL high-school seniors taking the exams, the percentile usually used.


Before the present SAT there was a correlation between SAT scores and IQ scores. (The present SAT has been changed and this correlation no longer exists) If George W. Bush's pre-1974 SAT score was a combined 1206 as reported in numerous sites on the internet –(an SAT score that was "recentered" up in the mid 90s) -- than this SAT score converts to an IQ of 129 on the Otis-Gamma IQ test. The Otis-Gamma test is reported to have a standard deviation of 15, which makes the converted score almost two standard deviations above the norm.

If you'll notice everything you quoted was tested in bush's much younger years. Afterwards began a self admitted 30 years of heavy binge drinking and drug use.
Whatever brains he had then are fried now.
Anyone who has known a lifelong alcoholic can recognize the pickled brain symptoms bush displays.

Having studied intelligence quotient and testing procedures for my Psychology A-level, I can tell you that 129 is not that much higher than average. From the 50s onwards, it was accepted that due to people getting more intelligent (due to either better schooling, nutritional improvement, better stimulation, etc) the average (100) score was redundant, and no longer representative of the statistical mean, median or mode.

Also, the more prestigious an institution you have attended, the higher your scores are in any (on curriculum, academic) test, regardless of true ability or anything else. His scores say more about the nobby schools his parents bought him places to than aptitude.

Nice try, but teh Emperor is nude man. He is as much as a buffoon as he looks and presents himself, and having some tailors saying "He went to a fancy school, and got good grades!" doesn't make me think he is wearing magic clothes than only clever people can see.

1/2 of the people in this country seem to like the simpleness that is GW. The job of president is "hard" and he has to make "hard" choices. Well, there you have it.

Its funny he scored so well, he certainly doesn't show his smarts when he is on the spot.

[ASsman]

The thing that pisses me off the most, is that porn isn't free. Wait that's not it. It's that people like Bush because of his "simpleness", but why would you wan't the leader of the country to be as ignorant as you. Really, we are a republic for a reason, too much power cannot be given to individuals. So why would we want a dipshit as president?

Absolutely true. In fact, when watching him debate or speak extemporaneously it's nearly impossible to believe the scores. Anyway I only post these to counter the tedious and never ending stream of "bush is stupid" posts and articles etc. Everybody gets it - the guy can't talk, his eyes are too close together and the face he makes when asked a question looks like a kid trying to figure out a magic trick. It's embarassing. We all know this. Stop wasting time with crap like this and start spending more time discovering the fact that the two major party candidates are so alike when it comes to American foreign policy that to say you are voting for EITHER because of that betrays that one is ignorant of thier candidate's fp.

Look before the debate Bush was in FL tending to the needs of many.
Kerry was not (as far as we know) That's the presidents job to tend to Florida, Kerry will be doing it next year when he's president. Why should he be doing it now? He has no power to declare disaster areas.

But of course gismo thinks bush was out there busting butt all day long doing a job he's better qualified for, handing out ice.

I think that Forest Gump gave a lot of voters the impression that slow and simple people are inherently good.
