1. Not surprising.
However, I would think that IQ and blind faith in the President would be inversely correlated no matter the person in office.

2. I've been saying all along that the reason the country
seems split so evenly is that the dividing line is 100 IQ.

3. I think perhaps it's more fair to say
that the right-wing made a concerted effort over the past 40 years, which reached a sort of critical mass about 20 years ago, to exploit those with less than median intelligence.

It doesn't explain it all though. In the article, you'll see that almost half of those with IQs between 100 and 120 support Bush.

But jokes can also be true, right? That's what makes them funny.
