You should not assume.

However, if you insist on doing so, you should assume that I am not going to read or respond to much of anything you type. Smile

Now then, for every one who enjoys a chuckle, take a look at Dubya's Hotmail Inbox. Laughing

Gato, I asked you a question on another thread: perhaps you missed it:

l. Harvard Business School was considered the best of all Business Schools when President Bush attended.

How do you substantiate this claim? Where's your proof?

You never answered this question. Can I, then, assume that you don't know the answer?

Didn't read the article all the way, huh?

in it, Snopes wrote:

As obvious as this joke was, at least two publications were taken in by it: The [London] Guardian and the New Zealand Southland Times. Both ran the "Presidential I.Q." tale as a factual item (on 19 July and 7 August 2001 respectively). The Associated Press publicized The Guardian's error on 12 August, moving The Guardian to post a retraction on 14 August, and U.S. News & World Report clearly reported the I.Q. item as a hoax on 20 August, 2001.

No, I read it all -- just left it up to anyone to discover that there is no factual material reporting Bush's IQ as bait. I don't really care what his IQ is or that factually he was a Cee student (something he has attested to himself). His leadership and administrative ability, not to mention his poor communication skills, are possibly why one would think him a moron as a politician. His handlers are experts in spin control, not for hiding womanizing but for hiding his ineptness as a leader.

Hey, that Doonsbury link doesn't work! ;(

So, that's not a viable reason to judge anyone's leadership ability.

I thimk that's the point au Smile

Apparently, many have decided that a stupid leader (sic) deserves the same conclusion ....

The snopes article is so old that the Doonesbury cartoon is likely no longer archived (they end up in his books). However, since the 95 IQ has never been verified (which doesn't make it fabricated necessarily), I would think this is a non-issue. Those who take SAT tests are not required to take any standardized IQ test and those tests can vary -- a college professor once told me you have to take many tests over a period of years and then average them out.

BTW, Franklin wasn't the only womanizer and adulterer amongst our forefathers and could drink most of the others under the table.

Jefferson was a party guy, too. I imagine just his documented extracurricular pursuits would have disqualified him conclusively from the electoral arena of today.

JFK was no slouch in that department either. Considering the accomplishments of these people maybe it should be a requisite for presidential office. Laughing

It seems some people must learn to differentiate between job performance and everything else of a personal nature. That's the only logical way to compare apples to apples.

Jefferson's initiation of the first university in the U.S. (and it was free, mind you) exonerated him in my book from anything including screwing his sheep.
