The Lovenstein Institute
Wednesday August 18, 2004
Note from a reader regarding the "G.W. Bush Has a Low IQ" hoax:
"Hmm, you said you could find no trace of the Lovenstein Institute. That's strange, because a Google search yielded http://lovenstein.org/. I wonder how much you actually researched this? In light of Bush's foreign policy (or lack thereof) and decision-making processes, I find it hard not to believe he has the IQ of kitty litter. Used kitty litter, to be specific."
Allow me to direct your attention to the WHOIS registration for lovenstein.org, which states that the Internet domain wasn't created until August 7, 2001 — one month after the infamous Bush IQ hoax began circulating. Note, too, that the owner of lovenstein.org is listed as a "private registrant." Whoever actually runs the unabashedly anti-Bush Website doesn't want their identity known. As for the fabled Lovenstein Institute itself, I'm afraid it still doesn't exist, nor can wishing make it so.

He’s still a moron…
Bud,
He is a lot smarter than you are, and he actually has a real life.
It never surprises me to see partisan liberal Democrats referring to those with whom they disagree with as morons, idiots, Bushbots, and Nazis, et cetera, all the while trumpeting their eruditeness while misspelling every fourth word and showing a disdain for the rules of grammar.
But perhaps most important and most tragic is the inability of so many to be able to distinguish between intelligence and wisdom. Many an intelligent person has lacked the wisdom to get out of the rain. Yet for emoting liberals, facts are not only relative, there’re irrelevant. And if the secular-progressives can’t obfuscate when faced with facts, they become aliterate.
Regardless if Bush ha s low IQ, you have to admit, he is plain incoherent. The man has made so many public speaking errors there is a book on it. You can’t deny that the man cannot articulate his feeling and/or he is hiding something from us with all those slip-ups. The man is not bright. He has developed some of the worst policies and plans enacted next to Carter. Carter stands as a glorified example of intelligence doesn’t necessarily define a great president. Carter was likely to be one of the most successful presidents because he came off as the brightest with the most potential for public good. Yet he had one of the most failed administration. (obviously next to George W. Bush, which I’m sorry but you can’t argue that, if you do, you’re in a powerful denial.) Even if the story isn’t true, and it was made for humor it did its job. They do say the funniest humor is true humor.
What’s really funny is that at least once a year since 2001 someone posts a link to this “study” in one political discussion forum or another to prove that Republicans are dumber than Democrats. Said loser usually changes his nym and/or slinks off quietly amidst the derisive laughter.
