[pennylane100]

No wonder Texas is in such bad shape.

1. Well, it's never really been in dispute.

2. Rick Perry's College Transcript: A Lot Of Cs and Ds

ne reason that might explain his hostility to the long-standing structure: He didn't do very well in it. 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."

A spokesperson for the governor recently told the Texas Tribune that the university "helped shape who he is today." The governor’s office did not return a request for comment from The Huffington Post.

6. I guess in animal breeding he stuck it in the wrong hole.

I don't see how that is possible. So that leaves not being able to find the hole.

[jberryhill]

10. It's not clear whether Animal Breeding had a lab section

Maybe the animals refused to breed when Perry was around.

I know it would surely dampen my enthusiasm.

He should have cribbed notes from Rick Santorum. Is Santorum still running?

11. WHAT HOLE DID HE STICK IT IN????

[thereismore]

3. Presidential timber! nt

[atreides1]

4. Not only him

The man didn't get into office by himself...batshit crazy, delusional asshats, known as voters elected him and the Repuke controlled state legislature!

Texas is the way it is because of the choice of the voters, and what a crappy choice they've made!

[rwork]

5. Bush

was the smart one.

[LuvNewcastle]

7. +

Compared to Perry, Bush is a towering intellect. If this country elects another Texan so soon after GWB, I think that the passport office is going to be a very busy place.

8. Perry as Niedermeyer

What's telling about his ego is that he has a larger than life-size painting of the right hand picture on the wall behind his desk in his office.

[Ilsa]

14. I can understand him having the pic in his office; getting your

Senior boots is a very big deal. And lots of the guys were still joining the Corps of Cadets then. But a huge pic? What vanity!

His wife is a nurse. They've known each other since school days. I'm surprised she married someone as dull as he is.

[hobbit709]

15. Friend of mine tells me the painting is about 8 feet tall.

He has to go to Perry's office now and then and it's all he can do to not crack up when he looks at it.

[bkkyosemite]

9. Just like his counterpart...no great thinker ole GW...and now another Texas Governor

what do they put in their water there.

[Javaman]

12. I have had friends who worked as lobbyists at the Tx capital...

that stated in no uncertain terms that perry is a high functioning moron.

And having the pleasure of living under that fucking jerks rule for these past many years, I can personally attest that, yes, cement head perry is a high functioning moron.

13. You know, I hadn't felt the need for proof.

But it is amusing. And frightening.

[MilesColtrane]

16. All you have to have to be the GOP candidate for president is...

a decent physical appearnce, a thirst to crush your opponents, and shitloads of corporate cash.
