Hard to imagine that there is a Republican presidential candidate from Texas who is dumber than George W. Bush?
Current Texas governor and Presidential candidate, Rick Perry, didn’t exactly distinguish himself at Texas A&M University (not exactly Harvard on the Brazos River). According to transcripts, Perry received a D in Veterinary Anatomy, an F in Organic Chemistry and a C in U.S. History (surprising?), a D in Shakespeare, a D in Principles of Economics (again, surprised?), even a C in gym – how can anybody get a C in gym – and a C in something called “Animal Breeding” (this one actually IS surprising). He did ace World Military Systems and something called “Improv”. He was said to be “something of a joke” around campus by his fellow classmates, was constantly on academic probation and graduated with a 1.9 GPA or D average. To provide context, if you compare Perry’s grades with fellow idiot, former President George W. Bush (also Governor of that bastion state of intellectualism), Perry is an even bigger idiot than Bush. While at Yale, Bush had an average grade of 77 or C.
We are going to miss the days when America was being run by a – on paper anyway – “Ivy Leaguer”, and a C student.
