You saw my response to your remark. Perry did look dumb in the early debates. I could see why you would've thought that not knowing much about the man.

It's one of the main reasons he lost so much support. He is working to gain it back.

Dumb people don't become Eagle Scouts, Air Force pilots or Governor.

Perry's IQ is probably Well Above 70.
