One of the best known 'hoaxes' to come out of the 2000 presidential election was the report of a presidential IQ study from the Lovenstein Institute.
The Institute had reportedly studied the IQ's of all the presidents since FDR and concluded that President Bush's was the lowest, at 91.
By reporting his IQ at 91 it meets the definition of libel; "a statement or representation published without just cause and tending to expose another to public contempt".

 Bush Low IQ Myth Debunked
Aside from the factual errors noted in snopes.com's debunking, the story is transparently bogus, given that JFK (IQ reportedly 174) actually tested at 119 (though admittedly on the relatively crude Otis test) and Nixon (IQ reportedly 155), actually tested nearly a full standard deviation lower, at 143, according to the historical record.
The reported IQ estimates are suspect, given that JFK (estimated IQ = 174) actually tested at 119 (though on the less than ideal Otis test) and Nixon (estimated IQ = 155) actually tested nearly a full standard deviation lower, at 143.

 Prez IQ Study a Hoax
The hoax perpetrators correctly figured that today’s journalists and commentators don’t have much time to check facts, or don’t bother, so if they provided their info with all the who, what, when, where, how, and why included, and the story sounded plausible, the thing might fly.
Another example: the Doonesbury cartoon on Sunday, September 2, which has a White House aide explaining the IQ study results to George W. Bush, and Bush doesn’t “get it.” Nowhere in the cartoon is there a caveat that the “study” was not true.
