According to SLATE, major U.S. newspapers report > remarks made recently by retiring House Majority Leader, Dick Armey (R-Tex.). Speaking at an event last Friday in Florida, Armey said, "I always see two Jewish communities in America: one of deep intellect and one of shallow, superficial intellect. Conservatives have a deeper intellect and tend to have occupations of the brain in fields like engineering, science and economics," while liberals gravitate to "occupations of the heart." After a couple of Democrats kvetched about the comments, Armey explained that he didn't mean to offend anybody, it's just that "liberals are generally not very bright."<
