McCain Campaign To Administer IQ Tests To Enter Palin Rally, To Stop The Videos.
Edited on Sat Oct-18-08 02:22 PM by 20score
Rick Davis, John McCain’s campaign manager, dropped a bombshell on Bill O’Reilly’s, The O’Reilly Factor today.

“There are so many of those videos out there, showing what Palin supporter’s are really like,” said Rick Davis, “it’s making us look bad. Men in their 50’s playing with stuffed animals, people who think the Middle East is a country, other’s who are sure the weapons were moved to Syria. Now it’s out there for everyone to see. We had to do something to stop the videos.”

“Something’s got to be done!” Screamed Bill O’Reilly, slamming his fist on the desk.
“Well, something is being done, Bill,” Rick Davis said with a smirk. “From now on, no one is getting into a Palin Rally until they fail an intelligence test.”

“What kind of test would this be?” Billo said “And what’s the cut-off number to get in?”
“Well, see, it’s not an IQ test per se’ it’s just a simple test that consists of a red board with a square cut-out, a red triangular peg and a hammer. We tell people to put the triangular peg into the square hole, then we tell them, ‘it’s okay, they’re color coded,’ - if they pick up the hammer, they’re in.”

“SHUT UP, JUST SHUT UP! – CUT HIS MIC – CUT HIS MIC” Screamed Billo
“What???” Asked Rick Davis, with a shocked looked on his face.
“Oh, sorry, just practicing, Charlie Rangel’s on next.” Said Bill. “But what happens if a Republican of normal or better than average intelligence, like Tony Blankley tries to get in?”

“In a case like that, known Republicans can get a pass from the campaign in advance to get into a Palin Rally,” Said Rick “But, so far, that hasn’t been a problem.”

1. Funny stuff. If that really happened, her rallys would look like
a ghost town.

5. Actually if they lower the bar as far as poor Sarah's has been lowered
They should all have no problem getting in.
They could set up three lines:
One if you think you have any IQ--sorry no admittance
One if you think you are as smart as Sarah--step right this way
And one if you don't think at all--would you like to be interviewed?

6. Sorry if this wasn't clear to anybody. The tests are supposed to keep out Democrats taking the
videos.

10. I thought it was funny.
It's also offers some insight as to what kind of person they're looking for.

Palin could pass the test with no problems!

9. Talk about serendipity. I'm a member of RealTimeObamaActivists
on the Obama website, and this video was sent to me today. It's just the type of video my joke is about.
