I consider an Ivy League pedigree a solid negative!!!

Every signer of that letter can go straight to hell!!!

"But, especially within hours of a tragedy unfolding, journalists and pundits should not manufacture a blood libel that serves only to incite the very hatred and violence they purport to condemn. "

It seems to me that only those that are guilty of this type of libel are the ones that are offended by the use of the term. If one were not guilty of such a libel, then one would not be offended by the use of the term.

OMG! OHNOES! Sarah Palin is a PEASANT, just like me!!!

!!!

U of Idaho is just fine.

Instead of telling everybody she went to the U of I, she should say she went to school in Moscow. Even the Commies would be voting for her.

Opinion: Sarah Palin doomed bolstered by lack of Ivy League pedigree

There. Fixed it.

There are, of course, members of her own Republican Party who also ridicule her and believe she is unfit to hold public office.

No. The elitist punks fear her.

BTW, wasn't she a Republican Vice Presidential candidate? Hmmm.

On a Poll of Major Companies, Ivy League graduates were not welcome as state college graduates.

“For one thing, Sarah Palin will probably never become President of the U.S. because she does not have an Ivy League education.”

Just looking at the stats, I have to agree with that. The last 4 Presidents have been Ivy Leaguers. I think it’s in the Constitution, in fact... And unlike your birth certificate, the MSM will check up on the validity of your diploma.

If she runs, the debates will tell the tale.

"If she runs, the debates will tell the tale."

Then she needs to call the GSA about looking at drapes for the Oval Office...

With Sarah Palin not having a degree from an elite school, that scores a lot of points in my book. The problem with people who attended elite schools is they are out of touch with the common person and usually sneer at them.

[potlatch]

Lol! At least she won’t “wear” them !

To go even further, when is the last time any politician of note actually worked for a living and with their hands. There may be a few “gentleman farmers” in there but damn few even there. Elect a steelworker, welder, miner or plumber. Nab, common folks could never join the club. You won’t find any such in the upper ranks of business or not many anyhow.

Kennedy, Truman, FDR and Churchill were barely C students. Not being a NE egghead may be an asset rather than a deficit this election. There is elitist smart and common sense smart, guess which one makes the better leader?

[dynachrome]

Nah, it’s an old meme. “She ain’t smart enuff to be da President”

[2ndDivisionVet]

How about a commercial fisherman, hunter, PTA mom and sports reporter?

[popdonnelly]

If only Ivy League people can be Presidents, then the nation IS doomed.

This is one of stupidest articles.
