July 27, 2006 Parting Shot

Nate wrote this at 8:53 am:

This parting shot is dedicated to all those hundreds of people who emailed me about Bush’s IQ.

Okay, I’ll make a deal with you.

I’ll admit I was wrong. I goofed. I cited a study ranking George Bush as having the lowest IQ of any of the last 12 presidents. Bill Clinton, scoring the highest. As I later discovered, that study was bogus. There is no so-called Lovenstein Institute.

Again, I’ll admit I was wrong.

But you’ve got to admit: It sure is believable. Does anybody doubt that Bill Clinton’s the smartest - and George Bush is the dumbest? Just look at his record.

Iraq. That dumbbell took us to war to get rid of WMD that didn’t even exist.

The Middle East. He’s so dumb he doesn’t know the first step toward ending a war is for both sides to stop shooting.

Global warming. Miami will be underwater before he realizes there’s a problem.

The budget. He couldn’t balance a budget if his job depended on it. Too bad it doesn’t.

See what I mean? Who needs a study? It’s self-evident.

George Bush is not only the dumbest of all 12 presidents since World War II.

He’ll go down in history - as the dumbest president…ever!

That’s my parting shot for today. I’m Bill Press.

Bill Press: a total fraud. Does he have a graduate degree from Harvard, as does Bush? Oh, I know, Press thinks that D student Kerry and divinity school fail-out Gore are intelligent.

LOL. Someone should tell Bill that it wasn't Bush that fell for an 8th grade hoax.

BILL PRESS Bill Press bill press bp.

Oh yeah, now I remember. There once was a raving left wing lunatic named bill press that I used to watch on CNN. Then FOX and other sources and the internet came along. Is bill press really still around? Who would listen if he was?

ROFL!...The fake but accurate syndrome.

I emailed him and it was returned. He either had an overload or he shut it down.

Where do you start with someone this stupid? All I can say is that if Bush is as dumb as Press believes, how come he keeps outwitting the Democrats who claim to be substantially smarter??

I think Bill Press is a hoax. It takes a drugged out freakazoid moonbat to maintain this level of hate and I don't think anybody would want a creature like that stalking their halls. The cleaning bills alone would be huge(then there's shots, antibiotics, and psych treatment for all employees who come into contact).

Here is how he titled his piece on his blog:

"OK, I'm a moron who fell for a five-year-old e-mail hoax because I wanted so badly to believe it and didn't bother to check it out" is hardly a stirring defense. Press appears to think that blustering about "non-existent" WMD (tell that to the Kurds) is going to help matters. It doesn't.

Yeah, I dimly remember Bill Press on CNN, too. Then he just disappeared. Or maybe he's on MSNBC. (Same thing.)

Who needs facts, I'll just make them up as I go along.

There is a lot more to each of the four points cited. Since the writer claims to be in the news business, he ought to know that. I've found, though, that our current crop of newsies are the least curious people around.

Mental giants they are not.

Try not to dig too deep.
