I don't think that disagreeing with Buchanan is a bad thing, per se.

Actually, he is definitionally correct. Idiot means 0 - 25 IQ. Imbecile is 25-50. Moron is 50-75.

In the spirit of bipartisanship and compromise, perhaps we can agree on Moron.

AON, why have we never gotten Hank's face grafted onto KSM's boat-necked torso? That's comedy gold, right there, unmined.

Based on my understanding of assessments of intelligence, unfortunately many of the teachers I encounter, in my opinion, are of average or near average intelligence. This includes public and private school teachers. As far as my car, not sure, but I am under a GM warranty (until I get my ferrari) so its almost certainly a caveat emptor situation to start with.

Second, since you pose IQ as a measure, the average SATs for the first school she attended translate into a below-average IQ score. That's right, the average student at that college in Obama's home state she drank at was of below average intelligence.

Finally, her description of the job she was running for: "They're in charge of the U.S. Senate so if they want to they can really get in there with the senators and make a lot of good policy changes that will make life better for Brandon and his family and his classroom."

What do you call someone who spends months and millions of dollars running for a job without reading the job description: an "idiot".

.

To the best of my k,i & B, I have a relatively hi-IQ, and yet spent years and hundreds of thousands of dollars in pursuit of a job that I had very little understanding of, until they golden handcuffed me to a former partner's bidet, and I don't feel like an idiot, just negligently ignorant.

Decades ago I worked for the R party and certain candidates. From 1992 to the present the only party I have been registered with is the Ds, I have voted for as many Ds as Rs, so I can't really say that I am ashamed of what the Rs have become, but I am saddened, as I think they have cheapened the political landscape beyond what I thought possible. Although Sarah Palin is a minour blip in that process.

But I wonder how long you would let that woman teach your child before they got yanked from school. I won't expect an honest answer from you, but that's only because you're completely full of shit.

Honest answer: depends on the grade. Middle school and above, you are right. Grades 2-5, it depends on the totality of the circumstances. Grade 1 and below......past performance indicates I have tolerated much worse.

That makes no sense and you know it.

I don't normally respond to the same post twice, but in this case I will make a special educational exception......I would hire Palin to replace any non-lawyer staff person in my office, and I believe there would be a greater than 50% chance that the quality of the performance of that position would go up. Otoh, my kids don't come to my office, for obvious reasons.

Yet that is how the terms are defined in major dictionaries and were used by psychologists until the 1970s - http://www.neatorama.com/2006/12/11/...diot-vs-moron/ .

Not at all true, for me at least. I used wealthy people as examples for a very specific reason: That I didn't want Penske (or Sebby) to come back with "well, Palin's richer than him so she must be smarter."

I used conservatives for a similar reason, to avoid an ur-Penske response.

Those would be two reasons why I didn't use you as an example. Your failure to grasp what I thought was a pretty obvious (i.e., high school debate-team level) tactic is, arguably, a third.

On both an IQ test and a test of history and politics (any period, any geographical context, other than maybe contemporary Alaska) all three of persons you cite would outscore her. I still don't think that would be indicative of less than average intelligence.

She may be "average," but the average includes, well, retards.

On a good day, she is "savvy," without much truck for book-learnin'. On a bad day, she is a blithering idiot who let her family run rampant thru Nordstrom on the campaign tab.

Her IQ is not less than 75. If you have met people who have clinically assessed IQs of less than 75 we wouldn't be having this conversation.

You wanted a term between idiot and genius. You were offered imbecile. You ridiculed the offering. I merely pointed out that the offeror was definitionally correct. You scoffed. But, now, due to my extraordinary patience and efforts, you have learned something. You are welcome.

Really? I must be misusing the concept of average.
