There is talk on the web of the Robert’s average IQ being very low. Well, I’ll tell you all, if you can match Phil Robertson’s IQ, you are probably the smartest person in the room. In fact, there are a couple other Robertson’s on the show that display commendable rational talent. I would not play poker with them.
We all know that claiming somebody has a low IQ is a desperate attempt to discredit the person when you ve run out of other things.
