Bush calls for the end of "legacy" college admissions

How interesting, considering that the legacy system was most likely the thing that got Mr. C Student into Yale...

INAPPROPRIATE since state colleges are run but the... ummm... STATE they are in, and private colleges are, well... PRIVATE.

"Well, in my case, I had to knock on a lot of doors to follow the old man's footsteps," he said to laughter.

Make it to the top, kick away the ladder. Just like Clarence Thomas with Affirmative Action.

Standard operational procedure for these types - "I don't need legacy admission any more, so I'm getting rid of it. I don't need comprehensive affordable health care, so I'm getting rid of it. I don't need decent public education, so I'm getting rid of it. I don't need trees..."

The legacy system was the only thing that could have gotten him to Yale. I have a sister who went there, no way that he could have successfully competed for admission.

Love your Icon!!! The Boss is the man!!

Don't know if you heard about Rush bashing Bruce and the others involved in the concerts to promote the vote in October. He, Rush the pinhead Limbaugh called Bruce a dope smoking, drug addled rock and roller.

Rush the Oxycontin abuser. Rush, Rove, Bush and their minion are the devils!!!!

Yeah, if Rush had a clue he would know that Bruce has NEVER been a drug user... unlike him.

Fuckin' fat-ass hypocrite!!!

Over the last two days, I've come to the conclusion that Dubya is secretly competing on "Last Comic Standing." That (or copious amounts of drugs) is the only thing that would explain making statements like these.

Herr Shrub...

Well, this makes sense, see. Too much book learnin' can make a person turn into one of those bleeding heart liberals, might even make 'em question Jesus. So it's perfectly in keeping with his regime to try and eliminate one path into higher education.

He is making sure no one can sneak up and steal his legacy as a spoiled rich moron who stole a presidency while single handedly making the entire country look like war mongering fools.

I take this as a sign that he's going to come out against affirmative action in the campaign, maybe rolling out that issue at the convention. He's covering his butt by talking about abolishing AA for rich white guys first.

Oh, I'm sure this has nothing to do with it <-(Look, Ma! Sarcasm!)

He wants to do away with Affirmative Action in the form of racial quotas as criteria for collage admission. Then he wants to get rid of "Legacy" as criteria . . . Just as the first generation of Affermitive Action Legacies would be knocking on Ivy League doors.
Clever, in a Machiavellian sort of way.
