It isn’t important that both the Associated Press and U.S. News & World Report reported the "study" is pure fiction.

I can't defend AP...but I do know Mort Zuckerman's crappy waste of good trees has an agenda to escort.

"Lovenstein"

Funny name that...

"Lovenstein"? What could possibly be named "Lovenstein"? What might some person have lying around her house named "Lovenstein"?

I just can't figure that one out.

Could anyone, no matter how stupid, really believe that someone's IQ could be determined by listening to speches? In other words, is there any possible scenario under which Trudeau is not a liar?

If the conclusion is one you've already drawn - the answer appears to be "yes."

Her house? Watch out or the NOW will be trying to get you arrested.

Cartoonist apologizes for using Bush IQ hoax

PHILADELPHIA — "Doonesbury" creator Garry Trudeau has apologized for a Sunday strip that cited an Internet hoax that said George W. Bush had the lowest IQ of any president in the past 50 years.

The "Doonesbury" Web site acknowledged the ranking was an Internet hoax and said citing it was "a regrettable error, although perhaps inevitable, given that this feature uses the same fact-checking house as 'Saturday Night Live' and The Drudge Report."

It's clear that Lefties have lost the ability to laugh at themselves. We'll just have to do it for them.

Au Contraire. If you read on, the sneaking weasel tries for a few more swipes at GWB in his lie of an 'apology'.

Garry Trudeau appears to have a lot more in common with Goebbels than Lenny Bruce, I'm sorry to say.

And so sincerely, too.

``Trudeau takes full responsibility, acknowledging the use of fictional material from an outside source instead of simply making it up as he usually does,'' the (Doonesbury) site says. ``The creator deeply apologizes for unsettling anyone who was under the impression that the president is, in fact, quite intelligent.''

Other than exceptions such as the late Mo Udall, Lefties tend to be a humorless lot, unless provided a script by their handlers.

What I posted was all that appeared in my local paper. I don't read Doonesbury and didn't see the version of the "apology" at the site. Thanks for clarifying.

Gee, and the media is usually so accurate, too.

I wonder if Garry Trudeau will ever realize that..........

....his entire life boils down to 30+ years of writing/drawing irrational rants with a crayon

The biggest fraud in this cartoon is Mr. Jane Pauley himself, Garry Trudeau. Just to show how much of a fake this DNC flac really is, TRUDEAU DOESN'T DRAW DOONESBURY!!!

The artist is some guy in the mid west who totally sketches and inks the cartoon strip.

In interviews, Trudeau is also first to admit that he gets most of his ideas from readers.

This would apparantly include DNC/Terry McAuliffe disinformation and strategy faxes, such as their fraudulant IQ propaganda.

Trudeau is as much a cartoonist as you or I, my friend!

He is a complete fake, phoney, and fraud. In other words, a Democrat.

Among Leftists, that qualifies as an over achiever.
