Bill Press Clueless on Lovenstein IQ hoax

I've always known Bill Press was an odious loudmouth and I supected he was an imbecile as well. We now have confirmation of the latter.

Falling hook line and sinker for the bogus report by the fictional Lovenstein Institute, Press proves his research is as deep and thorough as his opinions.

From Press' podcast website..... Thanks to the Lovenstein Institute of Scranton, Pennsylvania, which just released a study of the IQ of twelve American presidents, over the last 50 years. And the results are – well, not surprising.

The average IQ of six Republican presidents – Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush 41, and Bush 43 – was 115.5. President Nixon topped the list, at 155.

The average IQ of six Democratic presidents – Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, and Clinton – was 156. With President Clinton leading the class at 182.

Someone needs to hit this guy over the head with a cluebat as he is about the only one on earth that wasn't aware this whole thing was a canard.
