Palin and education

Since Palin has more experience than Biden and Hussein the attacks have shifted from "experience" to "education." Even though she has a college degree it isn't from Harvard, or Princeton or any so-called "elite" school. Of course it is the graduates of the "elite" schools, both Repubs and Demos that have led us to this point.

Am I the only one who says that mayabe a military school grad and a Boise State grad just might do better? Could they do worse? I don't see how.

Victor Davis Hanson says it like this.

"What is wisdom?

Not necessarily degrees, glibness, poise, or factual recall, but the ability to understand human nature. And that requires two simple things: an inductive method of reasoning to look at the world empirically, and a body of knowledge and experience to draw on for guidance.

Palin in empirical fashion bucked the Republican establishment and the old-boy network when she thought it was unreasonable; Obama never figured out or at least never questioned Tony Rezko or the Chicago machine, Trinity Church or the Pelosi-Kennedy liberal mantra--unless it proved advantageous."

  1. So we shouldn't listen to people from Ivy League schools like GWB(Yale, Harvard Business School) or Secretary Paulson(Dartmouth, Harvard Business School)?

    Right on!
