I heard him interviewed on TV and he didn't seem too dense.

While I was attending school here in Austin at the University of
Texas, they had a vote for Student President.  Somebody decided to
have a cartoon character from the "Eyebeam" comic strip (drawn by Sam
Hurt) run for the position.  Not only that, this particular character
was a hallucination ("Hank the Hallucination" I think) that regularly
visited one of the other characters.

Guess who won?
