More on Bush IQ vs Kerry IQ

This site discovers that it is likely that Bush's IQ is higher than Kerry's (although I believe that high IQ is a poor requirement and predicter of success for a President).

And this related site covers the common IQ hoax that average state IQ is higher for blue states than red states. The author makes this interesting observation:

"Honest talk about IQ would expose some deeply personal inconsistencies among our most influential thinkers. Although the typical white liberal intellectual claims he wants to censor discussion of IQ to shield black self-esteem, his sometimes-berserk reactions reveal that he finds it a peril to his own. He considers himself superior to ordinary white people for two contradictory reasons: a] He constantly proclaims his belief in human equality, but they don't; b] He has a high IQ, but they don't."
