In case anyone doesn't want to follow the link:


His score, 133


Wrote a doctor in 1974: "Patient is a very intelligent, ambitious, competitive, intellectually curious, caring person."

Wonderful. http://macg.net/emoticons/rolleyes.gif

So his ticket as a whole, then, averages IQ 107. http://www.powwows.com/gathering/images/smilies/hmmm.gif


I was going to leave that as an exercise for the student, but maybe I'd better not:

[133 + 81 = 214/2 = 107]

Funny. Which would still put them way higher than a Biden ticket. The man could barely make it out of law school even though he cheated, and was just about at the bottom of his class.

Biden's academic record does seem a trifle.....spotty.

I've been in Senator Biden's Washington office (it's huge, btw), for about a 20minute chat with him. He is quite charming, which I assume explains his success. It's surely not from any intellectual prowess.

I have long believed that politics demands the best interpersonal skills in the world, and that the best of everyone are U.S. Senators.

I used to do some lobbying for a disability group and realized this incredible skill after visits to both majority and minority leaders of the STATE senate, who both so totally charmed me that it wasn't till an hour after I got out of their offices that I realized -------------------

Neither of them had said they'd vote for my bill. http://macg.net/emoticons/smilebow.gif

And they didn't, either.

What is wrong with you Abbey?

Cheating and stealing other people work is a resume enhancement with Democrats

Well his IQ will not be much good with his early dementia. The classic signs are very visible to those with good observation skills.
