Bush must be publicly IQ tested

[liberalitch]

We need to know, we have a right to know if the president has an IQ of 48

1. You don't want that

They would rig the shit out of it, and lie about the results.

"The President has an IQ of 6,482,873,508."

And the media would eat it up.

3. That's his "Insincerity Quotient". (n/t)

[liberalitch]

4. When we all know that's negative number.....

the anti-intelligence vortex he has created now has a gravitational field all its own..... don't get sucked in.

2. Personally I don't think Bush is that dumb.

He is certainly not the President of Phi Beta Kappa, but he is at least an ordinary intelligence. From what I have seen, he is a fairly astute politician and has very good political instincts.

5. Molly I. said he's actually just very shallow

[GumboYaYa]

9. Incurious might be the word I would use.

I think he probably has the capacity to learn if he tried. Although that capacity might be atrophying quickly from what I have seen in his latest public speaking opportunities.

10. "functional stupidity"

I heard that phrase used once, to describe Dubya's policies. Even if he IS fairly smart, he often makes unwise decisions because he doesn't care about the long term, or can't be bothered following up loose ends. So he might as well be dumb.

6. I'm not so sure.

Language is the mirror of the underlying mental processes. Have you heard him speak unscripted lately? Sorry, that's not "ordinary intelligence". It's subpar.

[ComerPerro]

8. Its all an illusion

Imagine a Bush presidency without the benifit of 9/11.

7. Why so we can see what Karl Rove's IQ is?

Because you know they'd use the headphones again.

11. What was all that BS

about him having a higher IQ than Kerry...if thats true then the whole system may as well be thrown in the crapper..right now

12. Have you folks seen the 'ten year difference' comparison video?

I think Shrub USED to be fairly bright, (but intellectually LAZY...)

However, he has displayed a MARKED decline in the last decade.

Check out the video HERE:

After I watched this, I understood how people could have elected him governor. He was very good. He used to use big words correctly, and spoke in complete, CORRECT sentences.

Today, he looks like an 80yo Alzheimers patient compared to himself only 12 years ago!

The * has something medically wrong with him; this sort of decline is simply NOT normal for a man his age.

Again, apologies!

13. It's impossible to fail an IQ test

buy Bush may be able to pull it off

[maxsolomon]

14. he is not dumb, he's an asshole

he doesn't believe the shit he spews, that's why he can't get the words out.

he's probably above average in intelligence, but below average in emotional intelligence aspects such as empathy.
