Franken went to Harvard and graduated cum laude, so his IQ isn't in
question. If you disagree with his politics, ethics or whatever else,

Perhaps he meant for us to infer that the idiots who voted Franken
into office are in the lower ranks of IQ.

Franken is another perfect example of the pitfalls of overeducation.
