Specter Raises the Dems Average IQ

That's pretty much what Sen. Robert Byrd said (h/t Don Surber):

“[Specter] is tough, thorough, and he can’t be intimidated. I am delighted to welcome him as a Democratic colleague. Arlen Specter gives our side of the aisle not only a numerical boost, but also an intellectual shot in the arm.”

I'm pretty sure that whenever I walk into a Wal-Mart the average IQ in the building goes up. It's probably the same with Specter joining the Democrats.

Though the last time I was in Wal-Mart I felt like brain cells were dying. Somewhere in the small electrics aisle I lost geometry.
