A gentlemen's C

Rick Perry has made no bones about the fact that he wasn't the most studious college student, and a transcript obtained by the Huffington Post bears that out.

Among the courses Perry got a C or lower in:

History of the U.S.
Composition & Rhetoric
World Military Systems
Principles of Economics (got a D)
Development of Aeronautical Power
Public Speaking

My A-didas walked through concert doors...

Hill

No wonder he has such broad national appeal to Republicans, they treat stupidity like a badge of honor. The dumber and less educated the better the bumper sticker, you betcha!

Geezy

C's? Quit acting like being a cheerleader isn't harder than being the head of the Harvard Law Review.

And Obama is releasing his college transcripts....when?

I notice no one asked, demanded, pursued Reagan/Ford/Nixon's birth cert, transcript, or Secret Squirrel Fan Club Membership card. On interest in libs like Clinton/Carter/Johnson, either. Hm, what's different here? What could possibly spark this much interest? I just can't seem to grasp why this is such a big issue. Please, Dingus, you seem to have a handle on this, why don't you explain it too me.
