Good point. I suppose it could also just be that she's not one they consider "elite", and if she's not "elite", then they can't imagine how she could be very intelligent.
Pretty flawed reasoning, but a lot of people are hung up on that, it seems.
I've always wondered if the "elite" consider themselves to be such. Now I know they do.
Sadly, I've got George Will grouped now with BaBra WaWa and BaBra Streisand.
It's a really weird collage.
