Rising Hegemon
In a way this makes sense from Perry's point of view. As he got pretty much D's and C's in science, meaning the scientists were better at science than he was, which is not surprising. But he also got the same grades in political science, economics and history. So the scientists were better at that too. But hey, he's a moronic Republican Governor from Texas, so if he somehow malaprops his way into the White House he can use Bush's old lines about who the President is when he gets surrounded by "egg heads" and their 3.0 and better GPAs.
But he's definitely always been a Republican who seemed destined for the top:
John Sharp, an A&M classmate and now a former state comptroller and Texas legislator, had something else to say about college-aged Perry.
“When I first saw him, I thought he looked stupid,” Sharp said in a 1989 interview with the Abilene Reporter-News
And that guy is a personal friend.
Oh well, there's still the "Greater White Hope" that is Chris Christie, who just got his state's credit rating knocked down another notch because of his tax cuts to AA-.
Which is far too many A-grades to get himself the nomination.

I literally shudder at the thought of more years of some jackal in cowboy boots saying, "nuke-you-ler" in a Texas twang.
Reason enough not to want this bozo in the Oval Office.
Why on earth do all the C- students in Texas want to be President?
How many fans of feathers does Mitt need to tease his way to the nomination?
Here's his Ames dance, featuring ostrich plumage Bachmann and Perry.
Romney's the one. The financial might of our nation is going to get him the nomination, unless he does something really toxic or stupid in the next ten months. But knowing Willard, that just might happen.
most teevee gnews jazz handing perry, tho fux gnews is trying to knock him off.
As long as Obama loses. that's all that matters, getting Obama out of power. A dumb Texan is much better than a Manchurian Candidate sellout. selling the poor for "bipartisanship". Selling out the poor, just like a Democrats does to the Republicans.
Get a true Traitor, a Republican, in there and keep up appearance of two Parties. lol
either way, we get screwed. ouch!!!
