CAMBRIDGE, MA – A groundbreaking study has determined that 83% of the members of Congress are certified morons!
The Kennedy School of Government did a longitudinal study over the last 30 years that looked at the average IQ of members of Congress – the Senate & House of Representatives.
The study found that, despite the many advanced degrees from prestigious universities, and despite the fact that many in Congress are millionaires, the average IQ of U.S. Representatives is 101. The average IQ of U.S. Senators, is surprisingly, even lower at 98.
“We spent one hour a month with each member of Congress over the last thirty years. We gave them a number of IQ tests – including math problems, verbal problems and analytic reasoning problems. The results were consistent year-in-year out. Members of Congress are morons,” said Professor Thomas Turley of Harvard.
So what is a moron? A moron is a person whose IQ is less than 100 on a consistent basis.
The lowest IQs were typically the leaders of the two-parties.
In response to the study, Senator Harry Reid said, “Is that bacon?”
John Boehner said, “We will not back down and we will not give an inch and we will kill the cows when they come home. Hand me a tissue.”

I’m thinking Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) just by herself, has severly lowered the median IQ of the DC dynamos.
Pudd’nhead Wilson is one of Twain’s great works, IMHO, and very few Americans (even literate ones) have ever heard of it.
And we, fools that we are, have allowed them to vote themselves pensions that we can’t afford for ourselves paid for by our money.
How about we cut that first?
I heard DeMint say something about retiring yesterday. What the hell is anybody doing “retiring” from “public service”?
What the hell is going on?
I can believe that.
Let me guess...these same morons voted to pay for the study to prove they are morons.’Bout par for the course I
reckon.
One thing everyone knows for sure though is that the writers room at the WWN IS full of morons.
An IQ of 100 is considered normal intelligence while an IQ of 50-69 is considered a moron.
The WWN has been sharing their idiocy with us for decades.
Ain’t dat duh troof!
I shudder to think what Shelia Jackson Lee’s IQ is.
She could probably count to it without taking off her shoes.
Not just her but the entire black caucus.
