American citizenry have the right to grill Sarah Palin

Both Bill Clinton and George Bush had to dumb themselves down in order to be elected. Calling them Ivy League candidates in the form of JFK or Herbert Walker Bush is being disingenuous.
Of course, you’re right. We cherish mediocrity here in America. God forbid that we have an overt intellectual as our leader. Of course, “intellectual” has become one of those funny words–like “liberal” and “feminist.” Not a good thing to be anymore.

<p>Face it, as a seasoned member of CollegeConfidential, do you reject the premise that Ivy admission is based on:
≥ Legacy/Development Admit
≥ SAT scores
≥ Academic excellence (meaning ability to memorise textbooks, study daily, hence leading to good test results)
≥ 37261651 Extracurricular activities
AND
is heavily affected by family environment</p>

<p>I don’t see in ANY way how intellectualism (if solely equated to Ivy League) can be equated to having diplomacy, inspirating-ness, and other qualities. Like, maybe people like, feel there are better ways to lead their lives than engaging in frantic studying over a three-hour test?</p>
