The latest lie about Sarah: poor grades, poor SATs, low IQ

And who fell for it hook, line and sinker?  Why, the liberals, of course, despite it being an obvious, easily debunked forgery.  (And Sarah's supposed to be the stupid one?)  Gawker, Wonkette and DK to name a few.  Probably made the DUmp, too.

Yeah, I found another thread where DS1 posted "Who care if it's fake?  Run with it!"  Nice, eh?

Looks to me like the idiot in question never took the SAT, considering that scores are in 10-point increments, not 1-point.

Back in the day, they weren't; if it changed, I don't have any idea when that was.  Mine were 752+692.  I wonder if this PS job entered into the fitness-for-office calculation of that esteemed WMD sleuth, Colin Powell?

Back in the day meant the early 80's for me.  And they were in 10-point increments then.  Mine was 690 Verbal, 780 Math, and when I took my SAT Achievement tests (now SAT II), I got Phsyics 740, English Comp 680, and Math II 760.  And yet here I sit, busting my ass.  Guess I should have studied harder.

Damn, I studied being Black, but I dropped out when I got to 'Green' and then went into the Army.  Should've worked harder at that one....

I didn't really care if they were real or not. They were from what? Twenty years ago? She knows what she needs to know or she wouldn't be governor today. What people don't realize is that even if one is making lower grades, it's not necessarily from a lack of intellect. It could be because they have trouble with tests. It could be because they need to learn things in a different way than other students do. It's not necessarily because they're less smart than others.
Happy Upcoming July 4th. Our country is still one of the best in the world.

Am I the only one who has no earthly idea what my SAT scores were?  I know I did well, but damn, I think I forgot my exact scores, oh, I dunno...a week after I opened the letter with the results??

Same here.  I took the darn thing about 23 years ago.  I have a hard time remembering what I had for lunch the previous day.

I had to put them on so much paperwork at the time that they are kind of burned into my memory.

I as well.

I took the SATs before I graduated high school, 'cause it was the thing to do.  After graduation, I went to work in my chosen profession, and was attending classes at night at the local community college.  They never asked for my SATs, though they probably had access to 'em through my high school transcripts.  When I transferred my credits up to U of WA, they never asked for my SATs either.  The College of Engineeering - to my knowledge - looked at my application, looked at my community college transcripts, looked at the mountain of other paperwork I'd supplied, said we'll take 'is money, and voila, I was in.  Considering that I was designing rings around the 19-20 year old snot-noses who came in the same time I did - amazing what working in the field for 6 years will give you in practical experience to trump theory - I doubt the subject of my SAT scores ever crossed their minds.

Leftover chicken fried rice.  Leftover spare ribs and macaroni and cheese the day before that.  Buffalo wings the day before that.

Bottom line, when has Obummer released HIS scores?  After all, wouldn't we want to see that he in fact did cut a 1600?

Hell, I did in the 1200s and thought I did poorly. Of course, I took the damned thing right after my Junior year of high school. Hindsight being 20/20, I wish I had taken it again after my Senior year of high school, but I was off to play Sailor then. I had read on some IQ test site ad that Sarah's IQ was 116. I kind of doubt that she was in the "normal" or "average" range.
