1. Massie seemed to think that Kerry's degree in Political Science made him a scientist

And that when Kerry denied being a scientist, Massie had scored some decisive point. The rest of the exchange, however, showed pretty conclusively that Massie didn't know anything about the subject at hand, while Kerry was well-versed.

5. Note: Massie is a graduate of MIT

with an undergraduate degree in electrical engineering and a masters in mechanical engineering. He's not stupid, just craven and possibly corrupt. He is a Tea party guy.

9. He also sounds like he hasn't moved beyond student bull sessions in Cambridge bars...

...with Harvard guys.

Except he's not an undergrad, he's nearing 50.

2. I wonder if he ever learned that the word "science"....

....doesn't just refer to guys in white lab coats and Bunsen burners and dissecting frogs and stuff, but actually means in its broadest sense:

Definition of science


1 : the state of knowing : knowledge as distinguished from ignorance or misunderstanding


2a : a department of systematized knowledge as an object of study
//the science of theology

b : something (such as a sport or technique) that may be studied or learned like systematized knowledge
//have it down to a science

3. Ummm, just wow. Has no one corrected him? Perhaps they want him to continue

acting the fool.

[Maeve]

4. Dear God in heaven...he doesn't know what 'political science' is?????

And neither do his supporters?

6. He's not winning anyone to his side in that twitter thread

Oh, they are tearing him a new one!
