Say it loud: I'm elite and proud!
Why is the country run by people who celebrate mediocrity and recruit from Pat Robertson's law school? Because the right-wing crusade to demonize elites has succeeded.
By Bill Maher [2007-04-13]

  • Documentation and More

    All rhetoric and no documentation... this shit may or may not be true but all I can think of is whether Maher expects anyone to take him seriously as a journalist.

    I read Salon for news and editorials, not unsourced, inflammatory garbage that barely rises to the level of "writing."

    U.S. News and World Report, which does the definitive ranking of colleges, lists Regent as a tier-four school,

    Regent University

    U.S. News rank: Tier 4

    Since 2001, 150 graduates of Regent University have been hired by the Bush administration.

    and more...

    Pat Robertson's Regent "University" Law School isn't the only shitty institution from which Bush has drawn his joke of a government.

    Check out Patrick Henry College, the shit-for-brains college from which 7 of 100 White House interns hailed in 2004:

    Patrick Henry College offers eight biblical studies courses, twenty courses in government, and three math courses (all pre-calculus), 10 political theory courses, and five courses in "science" (Physics with Lab, Biology, Biology Lab, Molecular Nutrition, and Neuroscience). I shudder to think what kind of shit they shovel there - I bet their "molecular biology" is interesting since they offer not a single course in chemistry! And the physics course that discusses relativity and quantum physics with pre-Newtonian mathematics must be a real gem. Of course, if they did offer calculus then their students might be tempted to look into the basis for radiocarbon dating or potassium-argon dating and that would lead to the devil's work: evolution!

    Oh, Rosenkavalier, you can find more information another proud right-wing Christian indoctrination center at:
