Poll question: POLL: The IQ of Sarah Palin ?

Choose one.

[shraby]

1. I would surmise body temperature = I.Q.

[RoadRage]

2. I'd say it's around mine..

Which means that she's slightly smarter then average, and is good at BSing a lot of people (as am I). But I AM NOT SMART ENOUGH OR QUALIFIED TO BE PRESIDENT (OR VICE PRESIDENT) OF THE USA! DUH!

[lazer47]

3. I don't see any fractions below 1

[Libertas1776]

4. Well, i highly doubt she is an

idiot savant. Just an idiot.

[timtom]

13. Where did you get that jpeg?

It's truly marvelous!

[timtom]

14. Oh...by the way...

I voted for 72. I believe her to be totally ignorant with an intelligence on the order of any predatory creature

[Libertas1776]

22. yeah

she's got the intellectual aptitude of a wooden table leg. oh and you'll find the jpeg here: http://www.saturdayeveningpost.com/2009/05/16/art-literature/artists-illustrators/illustrator-norman-rockwell/rockwells-willie-gillis.html

Its part of the Willie Gillis series by Norman Rockwell.

5. I WROTE the PRESIDENTIAL IQ REPORT giving BUSH an IQ of 91 !!!

Ten years ago I wrote a spoof article where I assigned IQs to the presidents for the past 50 years. In that article I made up a research think tank, complete with researchers, psychiatrists, psychologists who worked at the Lovenstein Institute in Scranton, Pennsylvania. In that article I gave Bush an IQ of 91. Within weeks my article was picked up by most of the major news organizations as fact because it was entirely believable that Bush had such a low IQ. I now look back and realize that I was far too kind to the dunce Bush because no one with an IQ of 91 could be as stupid as he is. Even though he touted the 'No Child Left Behind', Bush arguably can't read, write or speak on a third grader's level.

I am the original and true author of the Presidential IQ Report. I have personal witnesses, original URLs & other computer records to show the exact time I submitted my article. It is sad how my article was stolen by common thieves, who have no background in creative writing. Any expert in writing styles can easily confirm it as my creation from the 100s of other articles I have written. They use words like CSI teams use physical evidence and my authorship would be instantly verified.

My article was so believable because it was obvious to intelligent people Bush's IQ is low. Due to its believability, my article was spread around the world & I was especially proud to have European newspapers publish it just as Bush visited Europe.

To further substantiate my authorship, I used names of personal friends as the fictitious 'psychologists, sociologists & psychiatrists' in my report. The lazy thieves who stole my article didn't even bother to change these names.

It is a shame there are so many dishonest & unethical people who readily steal other people's creative ideas & works for personal gain.

7. So what's your assessment of Palin?

I've read your work, I thought it was rather believable as well. Amazingly enough, I think Palin may actually be more ignorant than shrub. I can't imagine that she's achieved anything in her life without the benefit of her feminine wiles or a sexy soccer mom wink. She's the most embarrassing public figure I can ever recall seeing.

10. Palin has a brain stem...

Palin has a very mediocre IQ. Of all the presidents I evaluated in my 'report', I believe my IQ guesstimates were fairly accurate. Later, I found out the IQ that I gave to President Carter was only one point off. He was the only president to have his IQ actually measured.

Palin has no real accomplishments in her life. She has zero scholarly works. She has proposed zero ideas to demonstrate she has vision or wisdom. She is merely an exploiter of others, an opportunist who is riding on a wave of support from mostly ignorant people with IQ's even lower than hers. My guess on Palin's IQ would be in the very low 90s range. Certainly nothing higher and likely even lower. After writing the Presidential IQ Report and giving Bush a 91 I realized I was far too kind. I believe his IQ is a lot less than 91.

But to this day, because of my article, I still see that '91' figure attributed to Bush. And I'm proud to have even been able to trick Garry Trudeau into making a Doonesbury cartoon out of my article.

[EOTE]

11. Sounds about right. I have a feeling that 90 might be kind.

I have NEVER heard her express a thought that was truly her own. She's only capable of throwing out recycled talking points, and she doesn't even do that very well. And while watching her HEAVILY prepped debate, there were times when she'd respond and have no idea that she was actually making Biden's case for him. The girl is just plain stupid. I never thought I'd see a politician with less smarts than Bush, but he really looks like a wonk compared to her. Listening to her whine about the "liberal" or "drive by media" actually makes me yearn to hear "They hate us for our freedoms!" or other such tripe. A few days ago, she pushed me over the edge when I heard her justifying her "Don't retreat, reload!" comment. She was apoplectic that anyone would dare to suggest that she was advocating violence. Of course she was only encouraging people to get involved in the political process. Not only is she incredibly stupid, she's just an awful human being. I yearn for the day when the rest of America sees her for the joke she truly is.

21. I remember that!

I tried to be objective when I read it but the science of mind and intelligence
is just so subjective.

It didn't matter to me that it was fake: I took it with a grain of salt.

[JuniperLea]

26. Wow... I remember reading that article!

Pity you were ripped off... I bet intellectual property theft is one of the oldest crimes.

[hypocrisyandlies]

6. I say other.

She is in the average range but I refused to say that watching fox news makes one semi-informed.
And she isn't stupid. She has figured put how to fool a lot of people and get rich doing nothing.

[EOTE]

8. You don't think stupid people are capable of fooling lots of people?

I don't think it's all that difficult when your base is filled to the brim with ignorami who are just desperately waiting for a like-minded MILF to tell them what to do.

[JuniperLea]

27. Indeed!

Birds of a feather, and all that!

[HopeHoops]

9. Other: Her shoe size.

[Maru Kitteh]

12. Incredibly, unfortunately, terribly average

[muriel_volestrangler]

15. Lower than Dubya, for sure

Dubya did manage to fly a jet; and got through his courses, though his powerful daddy must be taken into account with that. His problem was more that he didn't care to learn about some subjects, or try to understand people not like him, and so he was uninformed and myopic on subjects a president really should have been knowledgeable on.

Palin scraped through university, after several tries; puts her foot in it frequently, and appears to be genuinely dumb - hence many conservatives saying she's not fit for office, as well as the rest of us. She can't be above 110; I think there's a good case that she's actually below 100, ie fundamentally more stupid than the average person.

[AnArmyVeteran]

19. Dumbya scored in the bottom 4th of the pilot's aptitude test...

Even a chimp could learn how to fly if given enough time.

[Johonny]

16. IQ is an artifact of linear algebra.

not something in your head.

[kentuck]

17. OK?

Are you saying that Sarah Palin is a brilliant mathematician?? :-)

[Urban Prairie]

18. If Palin wasn't so MILF-y

She already would have been likely long forgotten, as it is mostly her sex-appeal and dominatrix-like image plus her hunting and weapons skills that appeals to leering and often overweight middle-aged RW males that keeps her in the limelight, her true IQ notwithstanding.

[Blue_In_AK]

24. Ding, ding, ding.

If Sarah looked like Maggie Thatcher, she'd be history.

[BlooInBloo]

25. Hush. I'm having a starburst moment, thank you very much.

[DeeDeeNY]

20. If she ever took an IQ test in the past,

I wonder if someone first checked her hands for notes.

[BlooInBloo]

23. Wow. DUers are much more generous than I am on this.
