"I've heard this guy interviewed on the radio, concerning the Chavez book. He's dumb as a box of rocks -- bordering on incoherent."

That makes me even more suspicious of how he managed to be awarded a Rhodes Scholarship. About 1,000 of the top students in the country apply and only 32 scholarships are awarded. You don't necessarily have to be a straight-A student, they do put a big premium on "leadership" and "character".... I know someone who was on one of the state nominating committees for a long time (each state gets to nominate two candidates), and they are supposed to emphasize potential for positive leadership in the community -- but that makes it even more dubious that a scummy little red diaper apologist for terrorists was selected by a committee headed by a U. Chicago academic who was probably in the Obama-Ayers-Dohrn circles.... how did that happen?

If what I heard was represesntative, Boudin was no scholar.

Dull. Slow. Dogmatic. Irrational. Willfully misleading.

Anything but bright.
