Kathy Cox Is Smarter Than a 5th Grader

September 6, 2008 | 8:42 am

In case you haven’t yet heard, state superintendent Kathy Cox was the first person to ever win the $1 million prize on “Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader” last night. She’s donating all her winnings.

Now if only we picked our governor that way, she might have had a fighting chance.  As pointed out in the comments, I’m confusing Kathy with Cathy.

Oh, so many governor/elementary school kid jokes…so little time…

    Aren’t you thinking of Cathy Cox, the former Secretary of State that ran for governor in 2006?

    Mind you, I’ve never seen Cathy Cox and Kathy Cox in the same place at the same time.

    Indeed you are right Leoghann. I am easily confused.

    The rumor has always been that Kathy Cox owes her career to people confusing her with Cathy Cox at the ballot box.
