Washington Post opinion columnist Richard Cohen wrote Monday, "The Republican Texas governor clings to an ice floe of diminishing credibility, emerging in just about a week’s time as intellectually unqualified to be president." He concludes his column with another similar statement, "It’s not his thinking I fear. It’s the lack of any at all."
Cohen's claim about being "intellectually unqualified" to be President would more appropriate for the current President than the candidate from Texas. It is this President who has presided over the largest decline in the workforce. (Regardless of fault, Obama's policies have done nothing to prevent the decline.) It is this President who has proposed plan after plan to fix the economy, and seen each and every plan fail. It is this President who submitted a budget to the Senate that not only failed to receive approval of a single Republican, but also failed to win approval of a single Democrat. It is this President who announces that he is cutting regulation of business while simultaneously signing bills including two of the biggest increases in business regulation. (Dodd-Frank Financial Reform and Affordable Care Act) Perhaps before examining the intellectual capabilities of Presidential candidates, Cohen should examine whether the current President is any better qualified intellectually.
And Cohen is intellectually unqualified to have a column.
FYI...about a decade ago, Cohen was accused of sexually harassing his admin asst..the charges were fairly graphic, and as it turned out other young girls who had worked for Cohen also came forward. Back then....remember..Bill Clinton was still fresh in everyone’s memory...sexual harassment wasn’t the automatic career killer that it is today. The WaPo kicked in BIG $$$$ to settle the lawsuits.but kept Cohen on the paper..he’s a sleazy putz...
Richard Cohen Calls Perry “Intellectually Unqualified” To Be President
______________________________________________
Well, Dick. I know a good way to test the measure of being “Intellectually Unqualified”.
Lets see them ol’ college transcripts. Let’s start with Hussein’s.
You know, if personal duels had not been outlawed, there would be a lot less of this crap!
No it's a dem so intelligence doesn't apply in their book.
He did not go to an MSM-approved University. (Egads! Texas A & M , and not Harvard!) The groupthink from all the Ivy League graduates in our government is why we are in the mess we’re in now.
Meanwhile, Obama has none of the requisite experience, intellect, or temperament to run a successful small business.

Just remember the liberal media template:
All Republicans (other than sell-outs like McCain) are either evil or stupid. If you rise to the level of Reagan or Bush, they label you as both.
Right now the libs are just trying to figure out which label looks more believable on Perry. Nothing to see here.
Perry’s college grades were better than Obama’s. Prove me wrong, Dickie.
Perry’s college grades were better than Obama’s. Prove me wrong, Dickie.
Perry’s college grades were better than Obama’s. Prove me wrong, Dickie.
Perry’s college grades were better than Obama’s. Prove me wrong, Dickie.
Bears daily repeating.
From a guy that no doubt voted for the intellectual Obama, that’s really rich.
Perry scares thesepompus scumbags to their empty core.
I wish Perry would say that. Just say it flat out to some newsbabe/boy.
“My college grades are a lot better than Obama’s.”
And watch him/her sit there,mouth open, for a couple of beats.
thus forcing him/her/it to say “But the President hasn’t released his grades.”
and Perry could say, “No! Really?”
Bwahahahahahaaa!
Such claims are a product of both deception and conceit. No conservative politician, or indeed, any conservative intellectual will ever meet the Left's standard for wisdom, which consists entirely of agreeing with them.
Perry is many things, but stupid is not one of them.
All they have to do is dust off the old Bush is a partying frat boy president material, replace 'Bush' with 'Perry' and let the fun begin.
My guess is that Algore may have had a better GPA and college record than Perry and that would be saying something.
Followed by: "They must be really bad, huh?"
Tactic number one in the Democrat playbook:
The Democrat is a brainiac.
The Republican is stupid.
Variant number one:
The Democrat has “gravitas”.
The Republican lacks “gravitas”.
To understand how far these people are from having genuine intellectual strength, consider: "Liberals" Or "Mipips" [Marxist Influenced Pseudo Intellectual Poseurs.} Anyone on our side who has ever debated the ilk, knows how inadequate they are in the realm of logic or reason.

This is a jewish man slobbering all over a muslim man who is antisemitic. And he proposes to judge the intelligence of others.
