Chimp makes self-deprecating remarks about his laziness
KO just showed a clip -- Chimp making a joke about not going to the library in college... I really hate that. I would like to think that a president excels at everything, including scholarship, or at LEAST makes a good effort!! People thought Clinton was a "bad role model?" What about this one?

Remember when he told the Yale graduating class that they could be a C student and still get to be preznit? I just think he should be inspiring people toward excellence, not mediocrity.

Does this infuriate anybody else as much as it does me?

2. Problem is a whole lot of people are dumber than bushies
I've seen estimates that his IQ is somewhere between 90 - 100.

That places him as merely average or below average intelligence.

I tend to agree with some IQ theorists who believe there are many different IQ scales -- like Emotional IQ -- Common Sense IQ --

Bushie has a primitive high IQ in Political awareness. He comes from a very evil line and he also has been schooled in greed and political power.

The traits we normally consider associated with high IQ would be outstanding scholarship and a curious mind -- bushie is just plain dumb in these as well as Emotional IQ.

6. I think that's an urban myth
but whether it is or not, his party has an interest in encouraging mediocrity. Critical thinkers make for bad party loyalists.
NCLB enforces it nicely - regurgitate facts for tests, don't waste valuable class time learning to do any real research.

3. Half the voters chose to reward failure. He is and always has been
a slacker. These people identify with anti-intellectualism. We're a nation of dummies and * is the king of the doofuses. Or is it doofi.

4. Well, it doesn't infuriate everybody...
just those that prefer that their president sounds
like he didn't drop out of elementary school.
