Good point. Although you may not have meant it in this sense, Ann Coulter is definitely not going to change Bush's mind on Meirs by insulting Meir's law school, since SMU is the alma mater of Bush's wife. I look to John Kerry for an attitude that sneers at hinterland schools - - that's not supposed to be the outlook of conservatives. It's clearly not Bush's outlook. I was disappointed to learn that it's the outlook of a lot of our D.C. conservative pundits.
