Oh, I know that he's not smarter than I am. My SATs were in the high
1500s.
Bush's SAT score was 1206 (566 Verbal, 640 Math). See the upper-left
corner of his Yale transcript:
http://www.iuptown.com/YaleProtest/bushs_yale_transcript.htm
This web page offers a theoretical conversion of pre-1974 SAT scores to
IQ:
http://members.shaw.ca/delajara/Pre1974SAT.html
Based on that conversion chart, Bush's IQ would be about 129.
Another web page, "SQ, IQ, and self-skills in recent US Presidents"
mentions that Charles Murray, author of a book on IQ called "The Bell
Curve," compares a that SAT score to an IQ of about 125.
"On his SAT's, President GW Bush scored 566 verbal and 640 math, for a
total of 1206 (from http://members.shaw.ca/delajara/SATIQ.html ). The
Bell Curve author Murray estimates a 1206 SAT equates to about 125 IQ.
"
http://www.sq.4mg.com/Presidents.htm
" Finally, when it comes to raw IQ, Bush is in the mid-range of
American Presidents. In 1999, Charles Murray and I calculated, based
on Bush's SAT score of 1206 (old-style scoring system), that his IQ
was probably about 125 or a little higher..."

In Nazi Germany, there was an expression: "If only the Fuhrer knew
what was happening..." The implication was that Hitler was totally
unaware of the abuse and he was such a fair sweetie, if only he knew,
he would stop it. For RIPigs, ignorance IS their religion.
