You might also add that the one, genuine academic that we elected President (Thomas Woodrow Wilson, Ph.D.) was a total frickin' disaster.

If you choose to include the current bozo occupying the White House, that would make the score: academics - 2, America - 0.

We could start a whole thread on academics who ran countries into disaster territory. Wilson and BO are/were both abject disasters, but neither has risen to the disaster level of Pol Pot or Robert Mugabe. At least not yet.
