Actually, the list is of "schooling".
Many people who are schooled are not well educated.
Conversely, many people who are not multiple-year schooled, are quite intelligent.
Much intelligence (knowledge) comes from living the life and walking the walk - not just talking the talk.

I concur that many of the celebs are not educated at all, even with their schooling.

Also, many on "our side" are educated, with or without multiple-year schooling.

In short, the Libs/celebs are illiterate in these matters.

Rush Limbaugh is the most remarkable example I have seen.

He's been frank about the frustration he experienced in his short college career. But look how hard he worked to educate himself when he finally put his mind to it.

Harry S Truman and the philosopher Eric Hoffer come also to mind, although there are countless others we'll never hear about. Oh, maybe also Dilbert's garbage man (^B{>.

The larger point is that a true education (in the classic University sense) is to learn how to learn. Once you have that and the desire to do so, then you embark on your real, lifelong education.

Some people don't need college to get the idea, and some do. Most tragic are the cases where college stifles the urge to real learning; I fear that there's more of that than ever on campuses today.
