"I always see two Jewish communities in America," Armey told the audience of Harris supporters last week. "One of deep intellect and one of shallow, superficial intellect."
...
Armey, who is stepping down this year, told reporters yesterday he was simply making a broader point about liberals' wrong-headedness. "If you were a southern Anglo Baptist liberal, I promise you I would say you were not well educated and probably not a very deep thinker, because that's what liberals are," he said. "Liberals are, in my estimation, just not bright people. They don't think deeply, they don't comprehend, they don't understand a partial derivative, they have a narrow educational base as opposed to the hard scientists."
Mr. Armey, you know, is an economist. Economics, he feels, is one of those intellectual hard sciences.
Possibly his use of "hard" has to do with his own difficulties in grasping his subject. Can't imagine what he means by science.
PLA has a wonderfully indignant post about this.
