Why does John Kerry refuse to release his SAT scores? Why does he refuse to release his medical records among other documents?
The supposed comments now circulating since the first debate are again the usual DNC talking points...Bush is dumb..Kerry is a well spoken political genius.
I say prove it. Bring out the SAT scores. Let's get to the bottom of it. Bush has not hid anything..everything is public. Bush's SAT scores are higher than Bill Bradley's, Paul Wellstone's, and reportedly, John Kerry's.
Bush scored a 1206 on his SAT, 566 of 800 on verbal and 640 of 800 on math. [Since the SAT's scale has since been "recentered," Bush's score is more like a 1300 today.Bush's verbal score would place him between the 84th and 92nd percentile of college-bound students, or the 93rd to 97th percentile of ALL high-school seniors taking the exams, the percentile usually used.
His math score would also place him between the 84th and 92nd percentile of college-bound students, or the 94th to 98th percentile of ALL high-school seniors taking the exams, the percentile usually used.
Using one method to extract IQ's from these SAT scores, Bush's IQ would be somewhere between 124 and 137. Hardly a dunce, that's at least in the top six percent of Americans.
We all hear of Bush's supposed college mediocrity, but in reality his "worst" courses were two C-minus scores. Accounting for grade inflation, Bush's worst grades are around today's B-minuses.
Recentered SAT: 1300 IQ: 124-137 Worst inflated grade: B- Stupid: Definately not. Bush Gore Sat scores SAT Percentile Rankings,IQ Scores Implications
I'd like to see his:
5. Bar exam score.
Fortunately he failed at the Electoral College too.
Gore also flunked his Wasserman test when he was a freshman in college. That's what's wrong with him today.

We also don't have Kerry's undergraduate GPA.
i have always told my hub (we took the bar exam together) that i passed by a mile and he squeaked by, i am glad they don't tell you and i will cultivate this fiction til the day i die : )
No candidate for ANY office should have to release ANY records to the public if he chooses not to. As prudent voters, the release, or non-release of records should be only one of many criteria we consider when pulling the lever.
Lever? What lever? We dont got to have no stinkin levers!
Does flunking a Wasserman test cause one to double-post, with a one word difference in posts?
No, that is caused by severe lightning here where I live.
Paul Allen - 1600
Bill Gates- 1590
Bill O'Reilly - 1585
Ben Stein - 1573
Rush Limbaugh - 1530
Al Gore- 1355
George W. Bush- 1206
John Kerry- 1190
Bill Clinton - 1032
Al Franken - 1020
Howard Stern - 870
Where did you get these scores? Just askin?
And I'll add that Gore flunked Divinity School.
As the question goes, "Who flunks God?"
Ooops. I should read everything first, then post.
SAT records? LOL
Here ya go. FYI. All SAT scores unrecentered:
Paul Allen - 1600
Bill Gates- 1590
Bill O'Reilly - 1585
Ben Stein - 1573
Rush Limbaugh - 1530
Al Gore- 1355
George W. Bush- 1206
John Kerry- 1190
Bill Clinton - 1032
Al Franken - 1020
Howard Stern - 870
I think Kerry should release his birth certificate. How do we know he's even a citizen of the United States and can legally become President? How do we know he's even from this planet? :)
Today, SAT scores don't end in ones. They always end in zero. I doubt that has changed. I'd enjoy hearing differently, but I know it's been that way for at least 20 years. Unless they've changed the scoring, and I'd be VERY surprised to find that is the case, since colleges dislike figuring out how to compare one type of score to the other, this list is a buncha horseapples.
I don't believe Full O'Myself Reilly got a 1585--regardless.
