There’s this.  A Bible-thumping rightwinger is running for Governor of Missouri.

Republican Dave Spence, the plastics guru running for governor, says he “earned a degree in Economics” from the University of Missouri.

That may be true — but it is not entirely accurate.

According to the university, Spence’s degree is not in economics. It is in home economics.

He has a fancy website.  It still says he has a degree in Economics, even though he told the local newspaper, “If you want me to change it, I will.”  And added —

“I was not the greatest student in the world,” Spence said. “I’ll make fun of myself: I was a 60-watt bulb in a 100-watt society.”

Whoa, whoa, hold on a damn minute!  That’s Rick Perry’s campaign slogan!

Thanks to MB for the heads-up.
