People that believe in IQs are idiots too. lol

But seriously, I think the rules on that are just a bit flawed. Its 
possible to be well educated, very good within the scope of your own 
little world, knowledgeable about a narrow number of things, and still a 
total half wit when dealing with things "outside" your understanding. 
Bush's understanding seemed to be limited to right wing Bible, war 
heroes from old movie plots, and big business. Everything else, he was 
clueless about.
