Does anyone in America doubt that Kerry has a higher IQ than Bush?
Remember that August quote from NYT editor Harold Raines?
Like fine wine on the palette and J.S. Bach's Prelude 1 playing softly in the evening air, this is the report from...the New York Times. May those Bush-haters choke in their own bile, so to speak... Shoot, I think I could listen to Satie's Trois Gymnopedies and savor that thought some more. Oooh silence in golden. Faith will out!
I've studied W from my little cubby for five years now. I've heard scores of personal anecdotes, as well as countless ones in the media. I've heard and seen him speak. He is special. While he is no Max Planck, he manages to carry his weight with ease, I would say. On the other hand, JFKerry is the product of great privilege and prestige. He has enjoyed the finest schools money and status can buy. To his credit, he didn't waste his family's money. Somewhere in there he picked up an ego vaguely reminiscent of Clinton's. Good for him and his rarified life.
The Kerry campaign's feeble response:
That Mr Meehan is what, shall we say, laughable?
And look at this keen insight into the mind of Bush:
"In contrast, the only election Bush ever lost was a 1978 Congressional race in the Texas Panhandle, where his opponent made fun of Bush for having degrees from Yale and Harvard."
That is very interesting, indeed. Hat Tip to California Yankee, via Stones Cry Out.

To Bush-bashers, it may be the most infuriating revelation yet from the military records of the two presidential candidates: the young George W. Bush probably had a higher I.Q. than did the young John Kerry.

Mr. Bush's score on the Air Force Officer Qualifying Test at age 22 again suggests that his I.Q was the mid-120's, putting Mr. Bush in about the 95th percentile of the population, according to Mr. Sailer. Mr. Kerry's I.Q. was about 120, in the 91st percentile, according to Mr. Sailer's extrapolation of his score at age 22 on the Navy Officer Qualification Test.
Linda Gottfredson, an I.Q. expert at the University of Delaware, called it a creditable analysis said she was not surprised at the results or that so many people had assumed that Mr. Kerry was smarter. "People will often be misled into thinking someone is brighter if he says something complicated they can't understand," Professor Gottfredson said.

The Kerry campaign's feeble response:
Upon hearing of their candidate's score, Michael Meehan, a spokesman for the senator, said merely: "The true test is not where you start out in life, but what you do with those God-given talents. John Kerry's 40 years of public service puts him in the top percentile on that measure."
