The skill, and potential of the "world renowned neurosurgeon" was recognized by someone who knew her before she removed her first brain tumor. She was recommended by that person, and some patient trusted her to perform that first surgery to remove that particular type of brain tumor. Then came a second patient, and a third, until she had performed the 150th, and had become world renowned.
I'm remembering that Elvis was told he would never make it in the music business. Rush Limbaugh was told he would never make it in the radio business. Ronald Reagan was called a second rate "B" movie actor. George W. Bush has been called too many denigrating names to remember or repeat. Justice Clarence Thomas was called "a token", and worse, when he was nominated to the SCOTUS. They each proved the naysayers wrong, and many would say they are among the very best. OTOH, I could list a number of people on the world stage who have failed to meet the challenge of applying their supposed knowledge to the test of reality. Bill and Hillary have had more said about their proclaimed superior intelligence than any I can remember in recent history, but....
Bush has ignored world-class conservative talent and experience to put a Harry Reid's pick on the Supreme Court. Is that why we worked so hard to get him elected twice? So he could put the Senate minority leader's pick on the Supreme Court?
That should bother you. It should bother any conservative who has any intelligence at all.
Ouch!!!
Always wondered why the Northeastern Far Left appeared to be so "in awe" of what they seemed to believe was the intellectual brilliance in the Arkansas pair.
