John 'Forrest' Kerry

The same guy who in the previous presidential election declared Bush jr. to be less smart than Gore now states that Bush has got more brains than Kerry. Money quote:

'Linda Gottfredson, an I.Q. expert at the University of Delaware, called it a creditable analysis said she was not surprised at the results or that so many people had assumed that Mr. Kerry was smarter. "People will often be misled into thinking someone is brighter if he says something complicated they can't understand," Professor Gottfredson said.'

The research was done by Steve Sailer, who compared standardised military intelligence tests. This in itself isn't definite proof, but it becomes a whole lot more likely that Sailer is correct when you consider that Kerry never released his SAT scores. (Bush did: he got a respectable 1206 points.) I wonder why.

As for possible journalism bias: the source of this article is the New York Times, which has endorsed Kerry for president.

Run, Kerry, run!
