COMIC-strip creator Garry Trudeau was duped by a flimsy Internet hoax on presidential IQs, and has had to apologize to President Bush.
Tomorrow's "Doonesbury" features a purported conversation between Bush and a White House adviser, and cites as fact a nonexistent study claiming that Bush has half the IQ of former President Bill Clinton and a little more than half the average presidential vocabulary.
Trudeau, husband of Jane Pauley, ran an apology on his strip's Web site, saying, "[The strip] 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.'"
The comment was a potshot at Matt Drudge who, days earlier, had broken the news of the "Doonesbury" blunder and said on his own Web site: "Garry Trudeau is so determined to undermine President Bush, he's now resorting to using a phony Internet IQ study of American presidents."
Yes.
Of all the things going on right now, I'm really getting a kick out of the idiocy of the left with this whole IQ thing. This previous post from another thread made me LOL!
That might be one reason that socialism has never worked, among many others.
The choices do reflect his arrogant attitude.
It's funny. I never would have called them Rats had they not complained about the "RAT AD".
