"...But for pure, 200-proof exclusivity, nothing beats Stanford University outside San Francisco. You could live your entire life in this country and never meet a single person who went to Stanford. It’s that rarified. And yet here’s the amazing part: Hillary Clinton’s daughter breezed right in. How did Chelsea do that? Was it her formidable brainpower? Check out her twitter feed, and judge for yourself.

Now, there’s a chance that Chelsea is intentionally misleading us. It’s possible that her entire public persona is performance art — a subversive, Borat-style parody of mindless lifestyle liberalism. If that’s the case, Chelsea Clinton is utterly brilliant. She’s the Jonathan Swift of our time. But it’s also possible that Chelsea isn’t joking at all.

It is possible, indeed even probable, that she is every bit as dull and self-serious as she seems. In that case, not only is Chelsea Clinton profoundly sub-brilliant, you’ve got to wonder how she holds a paying job. How did someone like that get into Stanford?"

Same way that Sheila Jackson-Lee did.

“Connected” is increasingly the only way white kids get in. When I was an undergrad at Yale the school was already admitting kids of the right skin color, ethnic background, victimology, etc., over brain power.

The dirty little secret of the “Elites”: while the guy who made the fortune which put them into the upper class may have been brilliant and driven, his offspring tend to be unexceptional. By the second or third generation, very unexceptional.

The deepest fear of the upper class, is knowing that the middle class, every year, produces a number of kids who are far more brilliant than the average member of the “Elites”, and would like to out-compete them for their status.

And now you understand why the Elites have been busy for decades in the task of crippling public school education.

Chelsea also holds a Ph.D. from Oxford. Amazing, isn’t it?

Tucker focuses on Democrats in his monologues. I imagine that just as many Republican politicians get their kids into elite schools as well. This is not a Democrat/Republican divide, this is a class divide. I’d love to know the breakdown of how many of the current Congressmen/women have kids in or who have graduated from the elite schools and then how many have had kids graduate from technical schools to be plumbers/electricians/etc... you know, the people that actually make this country work.

Which is why early on in life I learned to not be impressed by titles....

Not really. What's truly amazing is that anyone still believes that the ‘brightest and best’ go to specific schools. It's become truly a joke.

I suspect that the only admission requirement that he met was his last name - Cuomo (D).

It is not a clear Republican/Democrat devide, because many Republicans are Progressives.

It is, much more clearly a Progressive/Constitutionalist or Traditionalist devide.

Constitutionalists need not apply.

It turns out that he has an even more impressive qualification: His father was the governor of New York. If you want to get into a top American college, it’s best to have a parent who’s a well-known Democratic politician. That’s the most effective credential of all. Don’t take our word for it. Ask Dante DeBlasio, son of Bill DeBlasio, the incompetent mayor of New York. There’s no evidence the younger DeBlasio did remarkably well in high school. And yet, like Chris Cuomo, he somehow got into Yale. Once there, Dante DeBlasio found himself surrounded by people just like himself: the thoroughly average children of other prominent liberals. According to press reports, That would include the offspring of at least three Democrats currently-serving in the US Senate: Michael Bennett, Amy Klobuchar and Sheldon Whitehouse. All of them.

This is why I can't lose sleep over affirmative action based upon race/ethnicity: The biggest beneficiaries of affirmative action are not kids of color from the hood who would never been admitted to {name your college} if they were white or Asian kids from the suburbs; rather, they are the mediocre, underachieving offspring of famous parents or notable alumni (i.e., Gore, Bush, Clinton, and a bunch of Kennedy's).

Gotta say: I took classes at a couple of top universities as an adult. A few times, when a professor saw that I knew what I was talking about he would let me lead. And one of those times the daughter of a Republican Congressman was in the class arguing law with me. I don't remember what I thought of her intellect anymore, but I definitely thought her presence added some je ne sais quoi to the class.

[Chelsea is another matter as my understanding is that she barely attended classes at Stanford.]

ML/NJ

Positively surreal.

Really interesting.

Of course leftist totalitiarian schools admit reliable little leftist totalitarian fascists.

Interesting sub note.

I have posted widely on the net about the fact that it would be good for collleges and universities to pay the outstanding student debt. Cleansed just about everywhere.

Not there any more. Not an idea that leftist totalitarian fascists want to entertain.

The real story is how the wealthy schools nationally with the help of the Obama administration and the previous Clinton administraion and fedgov sold students and their parents a lousy product and these sales started in elementary school. A GOALS 2000 project.

Taxpayers should never be on the hook for these loans.

THE UNIVIERITIES AND COLLEGES SHOULD PAY AND PAY IT ALL.

They have endowments and real properties to liquidate and that should pay the buld of the outstanding bills.

They profited greatly.

They need to pay it.
You know: the colleges and university that sold pigs in poke, overcharged and made bank on the nation’s future.

They have plenty of endowments and real property that can be taken to pay off the loan

and let the taxpayers off the hook.
