Well isn't this something...you think Fox News hacked into someone's computer to get these transcripts? Oh, I forgot, it's a Conservative so getting some transcripts isn't really that big a deal:
The Huffington Post was passed Perry's transcripts from his years at Texas A&M University by a source in Texas. The future politician did not distinguish himself so much in the classroom. While he later became a student leader, he had to get out of academic probation to do so. He rarely earned anything above a C in his courses -- earning a C in U.S. History, a D in Shakespeare, and a D in the principles of economics. Perry got a C in gym.Perry scored poorly on the basics within his animal science major. In fall semester 1970, he received a D in veterinary anatomy, a F in a second course on organic chemistry and a C in animal breeding. He did get an A in world military systems and “Improv. of Learning” -- his only two As while at A&M.
"A&M wasn't exactly Harvard on the Brazos River," recalled a Perry classmate in an interview with The Huffington Post. "This was not the brightest guy around. We always kind of laughed. He was always kind of a joke."
Dave Weigel asks:
Cool. Where're Obama's?
It's quite interesting that the MSM only finds it worthy to investigate a candidate's background and education when it involves a conservative.

As our Academic in Chief has clearly shown us, book learning is overrated.
Of interest PING!
OK. Maybe Perry IS viable.
It sure didn’t take long for this to leak out did it.
I am sure Barry’s will be poseted within a day or so. <sarc
His grades appear better than the guy he campaigned for in 88.
very kewl!
We are going to get to compare the candidates’ college transcripts!
Sarah better get hers out now, to face the heat of the RINO Ivy leaguers
Since this is obviously public information, can’t wait to see Barry’s grades from Columbia!
Sheesh... Sarah is looking better and better every day.
A D in Shakespeare and a D in economics. He’s looking better all the time. As Dirty Harry Calahan said, “A man’s got to know his limitations.”
Agreed. (And I was wondering if it was just that Perry sounds stupid.)
To be honest, if the conservative pundits and politicians had any doodadinals, they can play this and take serious advantage of the fact that the President STILL refuses to release any of his college records.
But alas, I know, they will cower and throw the Governor overboard...
The amazing leftist beauracrcy should have a show on the food network.
Joe the Plumber? BAM - here’s his private info.

Conservative candidate? BAM - here’s the info...
"Obama neither released his transcripts, nor were they “leaked” (shocker), smoked weed and alleged harder drugs (but I’m sure he wasn’t a slacker) and had NO experience leading."
Yeah, but after college Barack Hussein Obama straightened out and flew hundreds of hours as the pilot of an Air Force heavy lift C-130 and attained the rank of Captain before leaving active duty! Take that Rick Perry!
I’d rather someone who got a D in Shakespeare and a C in U.S. History than a more recent graduate who wasn’t even exposed to proper teaching of either.
If Perry was politically active at Texas A&M, it might have cut into his study time.
Just to show how delusional the leftys are, Obama in his own book, in his own words, was “not a very good student”....We don’t know what his grades, are based on what he himself has written, they weren’t good, never the less, the media ignores this and makes him out to be a freaking genius...
What’s cool is that everytime they attempt “expose” Rick, they have to EXPLAIN why they COVER UP for OBAMA.
Every time the word “jobs” is mentioned, by anyone, anywhere, they have to EXPLAIN why Rick has them and they don’t. This incliudes other candidates with the (R).
...and going to go unpunished while Holder is AG.
While I was in college I recall being stopped on campus by a former girlfriend who was then working in the record keeping office (registrar) and as a dig at me she pointed out the only “C” I ever received in my undergraduate program. It could only have come to her attention by searching the files (in those days still on paper - but yet, after the 1974 federal law making it illegal.) It wasn't much of a dig in that I don't care that I received a “C” in French 101, but I still recall the sensation, nearly 30 years later, of thinking “hey, you can't do that!”
For conservatives and Republicans, you can do that. With impunity.
Perry's never put himself forth as any great intellect and pokes fun at his "Animal Science" background and lack of an Ivy League education.
I would wager obummers transcripts are already leaked to the state media, but alas the state media doesn’t slam the Dear Leader ever...
