"Liberals are in my estimation just not bright people. They don't think deeply; they don't comprehend; they don't understand. ... They have a narrow educational base, as opposed to the hard scientists." -- House Majority Leader, Dick Armey, R-Texas.

The sad fact is that what Dick Armey said was basically true. If you look at the statistics behind it, you can prove it. However, being a politician, it probably wasn't too smart of Armey to stick his foot in his mouth like that.

It doesn't help that the people he was referring to were Jews. Even though there is potential for a cry of 'racism' and anti-semitism, a director for the Anti-Defamation league points out that anti-semitism didn't seem to factor in.

On a side note, the Fox News headline takes a rather balanced approach to reporting the Jewish connection, while CNN's headline seems a bit more inflammatory. (The 'meat' of both stories is identical, being written by the AP)
