Brokaw: Kerry Blamed Low IQ Score on Drinking

John Kerry told NBC newsman Tom Brokaw last week that the reason President Bush outscored him on military intelligence tests was that he had likely been drinking the night before his exam.

Brokaw revealed Kerry's off camera excuse in an Election morning interview with radio host Don Imus.

"I asked the question of John Kerry because the New York Times had reported that a man by the name of David Sailer had analyzed their military aptitude tests and then had, had IQ experts do an analysis as well - or the Times did," the NBC anchorman explained. "And they concluded that George W. Bush might be a point or two higher than John Kerry in IQ."

Brokaw continued:
"And John Kerry was caught a little off guard, he said. 'Well, more power to him. I thought that, that was not public.' (Hey look at that, Kerry's missing words are back!) And when the interview was over he said, 'I must have been drinking the night before I took that military aptitude test.'" (uhhuh)
