“Everybody’s hired someone thats gotten something wrong sometimes”
Watch to the end…
The former Comedy writer knows more of the science than the head of the DOE…

The last 2 DOE secretaries appointed under Obama:
Dr. Moniz received a Bachelor of Science degree summa cum laude in Physics from Boston College, a Doctorate in Theoretical Physics from Stanford University, and honorary degrees from the University of Athens, Boston College, Boston University, the University of Erlangen-Nurenberg, Iowa State University, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, Michigan State University and Universidad Pontificia de Comillas. He has been awarded the Distinguished Public Service Medal of the Department of Defense, and the Grand Cross of the Order of Prince Henry the Navigator.
Stephen Chu: A.B. and B.S., University of Rochester, 1970. Ph.D., University of California at Berkeley, 1976. Postdoctoral Fellow, U.C. Berkeley, 1976-1978. Member, Technical Staff, AT&T, 1978-83. Head of Quantum Electronic Dept., AT&T Bell Laboratories, 1983-87. Professor of Physics and Applied Physics, Stanford University, 1987-2008. Co-recipient of the Nobel Prize for Physics, 1997. Director, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, 2004-2009
The future politician did not distinguish himself much in the classroom. While he later became a student leader, he had to get out of academic probation to do so. He rarely earned anything above a C in his courses — earning a C in U.S. History, a D in Shakespeare, and a D in the principles of economics. Perry got a C in gym.
Perry also did poorly on classes within his animal science major. In fall semester 1970, he received a D in veterinary anatomy, a F in a second course on organic chemistry and a C in animal breeding. He did get an A in world military systems and “Improv. of Learning” — his only two As while at A&M.
“A&M wasn’t exactly Harvard on the Brazos River,” recalled a Perry classmate in an interview with The Huffington Post. “This was not the brightest guy around. We always kind of laughed. He was always kind of a joke.”
He got a D in a course simply called ‘Meats’….
