Dumb Things Said By Someone With A PhD

In a possible recurring feature, here is the dumbest thing I've ever heard someone with a PhD say:

"Senator, I just think that it's bad policy, frankly, to speculate on what you'll do if a plan fails that you're trying to make work."

-Dr. Condoleezza Rice, PhD. Professor of Political Science

Boy, is that a great philosophy to have. Makes me wonder if she wears a seatbelt. I mean, why waste time to "speculate" what might happen if your getting from Point A to Point B "plan fails" and you get in an accident? Good thing that nothing beyond your control could ever transpire that would cause that to happen.

I don't know, maybe she takes the bus...
