Yale University To Revoke The President's Academic Degree (Just Kidding)

I finally arrived in Korea for the Haiti/Nigeria 17 and under World Cup Soccer match. At first, American Airlines wouldn't send extra planes to Haiti after Hurricane Dean came through. They were telling Sunday's passengers that they wouldn't be able to leave for ten days. I'm surprised there wasn't a riot. The line of delayed passengers stretched out of the airport building for one hundred yards. I recommend that the decision makers at American Airlines take part in a racial sensitivity seminar. I took a small plane to the Dominican Republic where there seemed to be no lines, crowds or delays.

By the time I get here to Korea, I'm reading in an English language newspaper about the dissertation President Bush made on the similarities between Iraq and Vietnam. This guy went to Yale right? My dad taught at Yale for at least 15 years so i feel I know a little about the place. Is there a way for an institution to revoke an academic degree. Seriously. This is intellect? This is leadership? The intelligence community still hasn't come clean on Iraq despite their reportings to date. As I said before, either they are totally incompetent and ineffective or the President is completely ignoring them. These issues should be addressed when and if the Democrats can improve on their Congressional majority.

The other news that caught my eye here on this side of the world is Oprah's Obama bash (did it happen already?). I met Oprah once. I was with my wife. We were introduced by a mutual friend. She looked at my wife as though she was a juicy piece of steak. I was a bit taken aback. I guess Mrs. Obama (who seems to be the pitbull of the Obama household) knows what she's getting into. I wish them all the best but I think I'd rather be at the Magic Johnson party.

I wonder if such agust institutions as Harvard and Yale realize how much damage is being done to their reputation. If they will confer degrees on somebody like George W. Bush, then how can anybody be impressed by a person with a similar degree. Students might as well save their money, and go to an on line diploma mill. they will have learned about as much.

It is time to repay GHW Bush the money he spent, buying Georgie his diplomas. There is no way this man actually graduated. Did he make it through high school? I wish some of the othere students who attended the schools he supposedly graduated from would come forward and tell the truth. He hosted a Yale reunion at the WH, probably paid for by us. One of the guys had had a sex change operation. Another grad was asked "Were you surprised to see "Joe Blow" is a woman now?" He replied "I was more surprised to see Bush in the WH". Kitty Kelley told this story in "The Family" the Bush family story. Quite an eye opener.

"This is intellect?"

No, it's called lying.
