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.
