Newly elected Tom Cotton of Arkansas is one of the youngest members of the Senate, only 37 years old, a graduate of Harvard and Harvard Law and a veteran of both Afghanistan and Iraq. Widely considered to be a leading light on the right in foreign policy and national security, Cotton was naturally given a plum assignment on the Senate Armed Services Committee. Last week he made his debut on the national stage by posing a series of probing questions about Guantánamo to Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Brian McKeon that left many people in the country wondering whether Pee Wee Herman was guest lecturing the semester he studied logic at Harvard.

Barack Hussein Obama. Adolf Hitler with a tan.
If Hitler were Black, we would all be speaking German.
Tom was the guy that asked if the Guantanamo Prison Camp was Open before 9/11, the Cole Bombing and the African Embassy Bombings.
Kind of took the wind out of “they hate us because of Guantanamo” Liberal argument.
I like him.
T_R_A_I_T_O_R_U_S scum!
It is Salon. Consider the source.
Sarah Palin went to Idaho State if I am not mistaken and Ronald Reagen went to Eureka College, granted not unknown schools, even I have heard of them.
But Not HAAVORD, Yale or Standford to be sure.
They are colleges your more typical Americans go to.
It seems from the article that logic is not one of the strong suits of the writer.
Not yet. Cruz has the degrees but does not have the results. Cruz is no Sarah Palin. Time will tell if he rises to her level.
“Cruz is no Sarah Palin. Time will tell if he rises to her level.”
I nominate this for the dumbest thing I have heard in a while. In intelligence, Palin is not in Ted Cruz’s league. Let’s see, Ted Cruz was a United States Deputy Attorney General, Texas Solicitor General, and Senator from Texas, plus a prestigious private legal career. Palin was a mayor of a town of 8,000 and governor for less than one term of a state with a population the size of one Texas Congressional District, and Texas has many. Please, be fair with Palin, do not compare her to people way above her intellectual abilities. It is like comparing Sean Hannity to Mark Levin in this regard.
Lets clarify a little. Reagan attended college back in the day when it meant something. Only a small percentage of students attended college at all, thus even colleges without prestigious names were providing quality education. Walker attended Marquette, a pretty good school, he left with just one more year to go, but had to be a good student to get in. Idaho State in the mid 80’s, if you fogged up a mirror you got in.
Mrquette is a school that fires tenured professors for being conservative. I don’t think that sounds like a “pretty good school”
I base my rating purely on student grades and SAT scores that gets someone into the school.
Muslims have been doing that for centuries.
And for all his education, just what has he accomplished, other than law crap? Nothing against Ted Cruz. Intelligence has nothing to do with education. It isn’t what you know, it’s what you do that counts. A person can be smart without ever setting foot inside a classroom. I’m amazed at the snobbish attitudes on this board. I always assumed that was a liberal trait.
If you value your brain cells, please do NOT click on the article link, as I did. One petty, snark-filled sarcastic sentence after another. It’s like high school, but in blog form.
“Palin is not in Ted Cruz’s league.”
True, as were the other things you said...and I’m from Alaska. I’ll be voting for Ted Cruz.
