What makes you think Algor has a high IQ? The guy is a double college dropout. The height of his IQ is media spin. Based on his Forrest Gump speech patterns and his inability to tell the truth, I would bet that he barely hits double digits.

Actually somebody... Steve Sailer?... got hold of some IQ-equuivalent tests on Al and W during the election cycle, and lo and behold, guess who's higher? I think the test might have been SATs. The SATs are recognised as highly G-loaded.

Algore sounds like an over-educated dope to me, too. I'll bet his dad's employees always told him he was smart. Rich and priveleged kids get that, sometimes. I would guess that the media hype over algore being brainy was like the media hype over his supposedly being a macho man (remember the rat convention "kiss" and the mag. cover? cack!): a response to focus group results showing he came across as dumb-sounding, effeminate, and generally weird. Then the press was recruited to play up the brainy and macho angles to neutralize his actual disadvantages in those two areas.

I think he's an overrated dunce.
