Bush Actually Not (As) Stupid
I apologize for, perhaps prematurely, knocking off a great post from the top of the Wash Av Huffy Crew Blog (or as The Sheriff and I refer to this blog, Austin 5-000's Personal Diary) but I just happened upon this gem.
So everyone thinks that W is a moron, and maybe he is, but his SAT score was higher than that of his counterpart, John F. Kerry.
But I thought Kerry was an intellectual. I thought he was going to lead America to the promise land..
Not with these standardized scores:
Bush: 1206
Kerry: 1190
Obviously the SAT doesn't measure intelligence per se, but in this battle of wits, my man GWB reigns supreme.
(Now that the test has been "recentered", both scores are around a very respectable 1300 by today's standards. And yea, apparently you could get six points back then.)

Sample SAT question for Bush and Kerry from 1964:
"If you and your family are schoonering in Nantucket for the weekend, and your visiting friend His Highness Tanumafili of Samoa wants 40 portions of sauteed venison for his retinue, how many colored people should you hire for the task?"
