During the UT-Rice game on Saturday the Rice University marching band (Owls) took to the field at half time
and to the delight of those in the stands, made some comments about Rick Perry.

“The next time you go to the polls, ask yourself, ‘Is your candidate smarter than an Aggie?’”

I bet I got higher SAT and ACT scores than most of the students at Rice, but you wouldn't want me running a state or a country.

Liberals confuse intellectualism with ability. The marketplace does not. That's why liberals hate markets.

The Rice Marching Owl Band (MOB) specializes in nonsense to begin with.

Personally, I’ve never been that impressed with “smart” people or “intellectuals.” Neither were Eric Hoffer, Paul Johnson and Thomas Sowell. Their contempt for “intellectuals” was boundless.

You have the nicest pictures of Rick Perry.

If only a single, long-term conservative position
was associated with each of them,
then using the term RINO with him
would have been like oil and water.

And they confuse book-smarts (that odd intelligence measurable by teachers and professors biased toward their own form of intellect) and functional intelligence.

The fact that teachers and professors lack functional intelligence (and thereby the ability to succeed in the real world) is why they chose to cloister themselves in schools and ivory towers to begin with.

The “youth” supported Obama in 2008. Their wisdom is non-existent.

Revenge is a dish best served over the trampled bodies of the opposing team, i.e. Rice... /g

I’m not looking for a candidate smart enough to run the country. I am looking for one wise enough to know it can’t be done. A President’s legitimate job is not running the country, that is, you, me and the rest, but just running the executive branch of the federal government.

Perry Deals with the "dumb" question

"They have gone to some great schools and they are intellectually smart, but he [Obama] does not have wise people around him ... He has listened to smart people but nobody who has real wisdom," Perry said.

He's not even an actual intellectual. If he was, with his ego, he would have released his college transcripts long ago and gloated over them.

Obama shows what happens when someone with neither intellect nor ability suckers the nation.
