VDH the Cheery--Still, takes a swipe at the Ivies.

Do not hire any more cabinet officials or government agency heads with Ivy League degrees. Enough already. Nothing haw destroyed the reputation of Yale-Harvard-Princeton more than the present administration. Geithner did not learn how to pay his taxes. Summers sleeps through meetings and has contradicted almost all that he used to believe in; Holder wants to accommodate the architect of 9/11 with a show trial in New York, but try the CIA agents who interrogated him. The old Yalie Van Jones thinks Bush was in on 9/11. And Barack Obama of Harvard Law Review believes the Muslims gave us everything from the printing press to the Renaissance and Enlightenment. One contractor, surgeon, engineer, or pilot is worth five lawyers and academics. The Ivy League seminar explains a lot of the problems with the now imploding Obama administration — so much self-referential talk of elite standards, so little actual proof of any at all.

And, to my intense regret, the University of Chicago is enthusiastically seeking to match the Ivies in this regard.

Big fucking deal. Univ Texas El Paso is doing the same thing.

Bushisms became a media pastime, but no one suggests that a president who says Cinco de Quatro, or 57 states, or references the “Austrian” language is a Dan Quayle wrestling with potato.

What is VDH talking about? Herr Rott is a telling example of someone speaking Austrian. Still Greek to me.

I wish I could speak Austrian. Damn teacher only wants to teach standard German. If I wanted that, I'd've moved to Scheißelberg.

I have no intense regret over the University of Texas El Paso.
