Rove: Attending top schools doesn’t mean that Sotomayor is smart, but it proves that Bush is.

Karl Rove and George W. Bush smiling together.During a debate at Radio City Music Hall last night, former Bush adviser Karl Rove claimed that Supreme Court nominee Judge Sonia Sotomayor was “not necessarily” “very smart.” When host Charlie Rose noted in response that she attended Princeton and Yale Law School, Rove replied that you don’t have to be smart to attend a top school:

Rove – “She is competent and will be confirmed….She has an interesting and compelling life story…”

Charlie – “She is very smart.”

Rove “Not necessarily.”

Charlie – “What do you mean? She went to Princeton where she graduating with honors and then went on to Yale Law School….”

Rove- “I know lots of stupid people who went to Ivy League schools.” The crowd applauds.

Rove’s dismissal of Ivy League attendance is ironic considering that in an interview previewing the debate, he cited George W. Bush’s experience at Harvard and Yale to mock claims that Bush is stupid. “The myth was that this guy, who was a Yale history grad and a Harvard MBA, was not smart,” Rove told the Chicago Tribune. In December 2008, Rove also touted Bush’s time at Harvard and Yale in a Wall Street Journal column, writing, “You don’t make it through either unless you are a reader.”

    I know, I know… no one should be surprised at this bald-faced hypocrisy.

    But it’s a good idea to document it anyway.

    Yes, reading the test answers beforehand does help one cheat one’s way through school.

    Just ask anyone who was in a fraternity.

    Did he just call her stupid?

    Yes, and you know one of them very well. You acted

    Well he does knows George W. Bush…


  8. stateofthedivision says:

    Bush may be smart, but he had no motivation to use it. He was remarkably incurious, according to people who knew him as Texas Governor and President. His speech impediment didn’t help public perceptions of his “intelligence.” But George W. Bush was a supremely bad leader. Junior Machiavellian Karl Rove knows all this. He won’t be transparent and accountable.


  9. SP Biloxi says:

    “Rove: Attending top schools doesn’t mean that Sotomayor is smart, but it proves that Bush is.”

    Tubby McTreason Rove has nothing better else to do. He is beyond nauseating. And to attach the topic of Bush and Sotomayor to top schools is beyond laughable. Sotomayor earned her degree. Bush’s daddy brought Bush’s degree.

  11. Daddy-O says:

    There aren’t too many more ignorant things you can say than:

    “I know lots of stupid people who went to Ivy League schools.”

    And there aren’t too many more ignorant people than those who pay the slightest bit of attention to whom Karl Rove determines are stupid, and who are not.

    On the other hand, if anyone knows stupid, it’s Karl Rove. He manipulated stupid, face-to-face, for years.


  12. stateofthedivision says:

    I know lots of narcissists who speak on TV. That doesn’t make them smart. But they’re clearly Machiavellian.


  13. Daddy-O says:

    He knows lots of people who went to Ivy League schools who are stupid? Really?

    Reminds me of this paraphrase: “Nixon won the election? He couldn’t have! I don’t know a single person who voted for him!”

    ha ha


  14. P.D. says:

    My God. This is so bizarre. I just can’t wrap my head around these guys logic. I aways knew the Repugs love to spin (Same with the Democrats) but this is so illogical and down right stupid! Didn’t we just hear Buchana say Sotomayor wasn’t intelligent enough, or as Limpballs put it, she a reverse racist. Well, which is it? Jeez…


  15. Rob says:

    I love the placement of “…where she graduating with honors…” in this story


  16. PFWoody488 says:

    With his proven history of lies and libelous smear attacks (hell, it constitutes his entire career) why do the media keep passing on his distortions unremarked upon?

    If the media ever wonders why people don’t trust what they say, they need look no further than their tactic of disregarding the truth in favor of so called ‘balance’.


  17. amish_edison says:

    Why would Rove ever let facts, reason, logic, or history get in the way of his positions?


  18. Megaloptera McWars says:

    If stupid people graduate college, what does that make 5-time college-dropout Rove?


  19. Doodlebug Shayne says:

    Rove- “I know lots of stupid people who went to Ivy League schools.” The crowd applauds.

    But those people were legacy admissions or have rich and powerful families that buy their way in. They don’t hand out scholarships to the stupid, they don’t have to.


  20. Doodlebug Shayne says:

    Megaloptera McWars Says:

    If stupid people graduate college, what does that make 5-time college-dropout Rove?

    Good point, and Rove, Rush and Palin couldn’t even get through crappy schools. They must really be stupid.


  21. Bilbo Hussein Baggins says:

    He is right, you don’t have to be smart to attend top schools. In some cases who your father is will get you in (Bush).

    But, you do have to be smart to end up graduating second to the top of your class.

    Take that and shove it where the sun don’t shine Rove.


  22. Bob says:

    You don’t have to be smart to graduate from an Ivy League school, but you do have to be smart to graduate at the top of your class with honors. Stupid people don’t do that, even stupid people with well-connected parents.


  23. ralph the wonder locust says:

    Rove- “I know lots of stupid people who went to Ivy League schools.” The crowd applauds.

    I figure the crowd applauded in the same way that they applaud when someone mentions “Boston! Anyone here from Boston?”

    The folks who applauded knew who Rove meant by “stupid people who went to Ivy League schools”.

    A good moderator, when Rove said, “I know lots of stupid people who went to Ivy League schools,” might have said “Anyone we know?”


  24. stewarjt says:

    Since when is a guy who dropped out of college an expert on who is and isn’t smart?


  25. Purple State says:

    Say, Ann Coulter went to an Ivy League school. I guess the theory could be true.


  26. The Dogfather says:

    Judge Sotomayor didn’t just “attend” Ivy League schools — she graduated in the top of her class at them. Graduating #2 at Princeton isn’t done by “stupid people.” Being in the top of your class at Yale Law School, and editor of the Yale Law Review, isn’t done by “stupid people.”

    So yes — there are plenty of “stupid people” who “attend” these schools; say, for instance, somebody whose daddy pulls strings to get him into Yale where he becomes a druggie and nearly flunks out, and then pulls more strings to get him into Harvard business school where all you gotta do to get an MBA is show up. Stupid is as stupid does, after all…


  27. DRxJapanese Beetle says:

    Hee hee hee.
    Geez, having elected an African American as president, and now possibly having a Hispanic WOMAN as Supreme Court Justice must really (and I mean REALLY) irk these bigoted white men.

    I’m laughing, only because it reflects how truly pathetic the GOP has become.

    Hee hee hee.


  28. Marie says:

    Using current alumni as examples (Obama, Sotomayor), those who made it through ivy league schools on their own merit couldn’t do so if they were stupid, much less earn prestigious awards while there, whereas, also using current alumni (Bush)for example, the stupid people who make it through the ivy league schools are those who got in initially through legacy programs.


  29. P.D. says:

    Purple@25, Yeah. And she slammed her own Alma Mater after trashing Keith Obermans degree. I guess she is stupid too. No?


  30. glogrrl says:

    George W. Bush was admitted to, and graduated from, Harvard and Yale because of his name, period. I’m imagining that i resembled the famous fictional Dean Wormer’s advice, “fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, boy”–although he apparently traded the fat for cocaine. I further imagine his Poppy gave a lot of money to the schools for that privilege, just like Mommy when she gave all that money to the hurricane school fund but only on the stipulation that it be used to buy Neil’s crappy educational video program. Money and power trumps peace, as Dubya once said….apparently it also trumps Teh Stoopid.


  31. glogrrl says:

    Oops! the “i” in the second line should be “it”. My bad.


  32. kasinca says:

    KKKarl has his opinion of education and schools based on his own personal experience of never graduating college. KKKarl is a drop out just like Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, and Rushpo Limpballs.


  33. hormiga brava chavez says:

    Sure Bush was smart – C average and all. Maybe we just misunderestimated him?! HAHA!

    Rove will say anything to the GOP base because he knows most are not smart enough to understand what he’s talking about.


  34. Zooey says:

    Keep talking, Karl. Maybe you’ll get back that “permanent Republican majority.” After all, everything you’ve done so far has really been working!

    Always ironic when the dropouts always mock achievment in education.

    That’s what fraternity guys said when I was in school—-that there were files of tests or even research papers that they could use.

    It’s also been said that W could not get into UTexas. Sotomayor graduated #2 in her Princeton class. McCain 894th of 899 at Navy. He only got in due to his father and grandfather (like W). Palin had five colleges in her undergraduate career and noone remembers her at any of them.

  42. J. Fred Smug says:

    Poor Turd Blossom. He dropped out of the University of Utah in 1971 to become Executive Director of the College Republican National Committee. He exchanged education for ideology at that point, and he is now slave to the latter. He is extremely jealous of those who finished their degrees and beyond (and highly defensive about his own lack of education), and in typical sophomoric fashion, denigrates their accomplishments.

    Karl Rove is the poster child for Republic Fascist Party anti-intellectualism.

  45. mbaker says:

    Karl Rove’s attitude and comments about Ivy League school graduates says more about his own lack of credentials and education and less about Judge Sotomayor.
    He is a man who barely lasted a semester or two in some nameless college, but who has spent his professional life among some of the best educated (at top schools) people in the country.
    Since during that time he convinced himself that he was always the smartest boy in the room, of course he would have disdain for those Ivy Leaguerers – his insecurities are showing.

    How is that Rove is so smart that he couldn’t comprehend the irony of that statement as it issued from his ignorant piehole? “I Know lots of stupid people that went to Ivy League Schools.”

    And was the audience laughing with him or at him for the purely unintended comedy he had just made?


  52. MrBrown says:

    No, I don’t think we’ve said enough. College alone doesn’t make a man or woman great. It takes many factors–influence, charity, common sense, action, motivation, et cetera–to make someone a truly intelligent being.

    Most of all, a person’s intelligence will also be judged differently by different cliques. One group of individuals will consider someone eloquent, but another will find that same person dumb as a box of hammers in other issues.

    So Rove suspecting someone is not intelligent is just his unabashed opinion on the matter, especially since we question his own.


  57. MapleStreet says:

    I may agree that you don’t have to be smart to attend an Ivy League School – especially when your parents have scads of money (BTW – how do the father Bush and mother Sotamayor finances in the 1960s compare ?)

    But your grades at these schools, even with grade inflation can tell you a lot about your skills. BTW – didn’t Bush get a Gentleman’s C. How did the editor of the law review do in classes ?

    Is this a measurement of her overall intelligence? It just means that her decisions did not agree with those from the Supreme Court. Heck, one could argue that Sotomayor is the intelligent one and the Supreme Court is the unintelligent side.

    Intelligence cannot be measured by the overturning of decisions. One could be the most intelligent person in the world, but all it takes is a majority decision to brand that someone as a moron.

    Calling you stupid is an insult to stupid people.

    3 of the 5 majority opinions written by Sotomayer for the second circuit court of appeals and reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court were reversed. Maybe this record would be success to you in whatever line of work you are in, but to most of us its not that good.

    You seem to have an obsession with tea bags, you might want to get some help.

    <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<,

    Hey RO lets remember that the SC overturns about 3/4 of the cases they TAKE. Lets also remember that YOU are a liar. She has NOT had 60% of her decisions overturned rather 60% of the cases HEARD ON APPEAL overturned. My GOD you are stupid. Do you just regurgitate ANYTHING you were told to think? Have you ever just thought about it for one second to see if it makes any sense? We already know you are a ridiculous propaganda parrot but you dont have to embarass yourself on such a continuous basis


  69. EugeneDebs says:

    Romartin16985 Says:

    YOU are an insult to stupid people. YOU are stupid and even by THAT measure you embarass anyone with two functioning braincells to rub together. That is STILL BELOW THE AVERAGE. The SC only takes cases where there is an interesting point of law and it is LIKELY they will overturn otherwise they just refuse to hear the case and THAT is when the decision is appealed. How many cases has she HEARD since she was on the bench and what percentage of THOSE have been overturned your insufferable MORON?


  70. EugeneDebs says:

    Romartin16985

    Yeah its just YOU because you are so bone ignorant. The smartest judge in the COUNTRY might have sat on the bench for 15 years and only had ONE case heard by the SC and had it his judgement overturned and that would mean he had a 100% rate by your astonishingly STUPID and meaningless statistic. On the other hand the say 300 cases that WERENT heard by the SC would have no meaning for you. Do you get why yet? I mean other than your obvious intellectual challenges? Take a pil and this time pass on the STUPID pill.

  74. dhairston says:

    In my opinion, this is just the culmination of what the GOP has been doing over the past 10 or so years where Ivy League equates to “elitist” and “common sense” outweighs formal education because, in their mind, “those who can do and those who can’t teach.” The GOP created a populist vision of the hard working blue collar person from the grand years of past while failing to mention that these workers often did so with the hopes of sending their kids off to college.

    From this visionary mindset, you have the Rove’s, Hannity’s and Limbaugh’s with their beer swillin,’ lunch box packin,’ yellow mustard eatin’ personas (failing to mention their country club memberships and so on). And through the medium of radio, they created the “Us vs Them” debate that exists today by exciting passions at the expense of rational thought. However, the chickens have come home to roost because this pseudo-conservatism (social) has perverted conservatism’s intellectual persuasion (general overall freedoms from government) which embraced ideas over pugilistic banter. These remnants can be seen in individuals such as Andrew Sullivan and Richard Posner having taken the party to task.

    Yet, as long as GOP fortunes are tied to talk radio hosts, Fox News and failed Rovian tactics, it seems certain that it will find itself in the proverbial wilderness for some time to come.


  75. ElBruce says:

    Romartin16985 Says:

    Maybe its just me, but I would think we’d want to pick a SUPREME COURT NOMINEE who has a MUCH BETTER THAN AVERAGE record, you nit wit.

    Her record is better than average. The average turnover rate of cases selected by the SCOTUS is in the 73% – 76% range. So 60% beats that. Hence, “better than average.”

    Out of over 400 cases she decided, only 5 were picked up for review by the SCOTUS, and only 3 of those overturned. That makes her overturn rate less than 0.75%. I don’t know what the average rate is on that, but that looks pretty good to me.

    Now that these facts have been explained to you, I’m sure you’re all for her. Right?


  76. wiley says:

    I would give someone who graduated top in their class credit if they graduated from a community college.


  77. Romartin16985 says:

    No Locust I’m not all for her,

    Since the Supreme Court takes very few cases to review, to me its not only significant that more often than not they disagreed with Sotomayer’s opinion, but in one case the disagreement was unanimous. I do however agree that she has written opinions on many cases that stand – although we don’t know if she was in the majority on those.

    It seems likely that another ruling of hers will be overturned, as she all but dismissed the Ricci case. The nature of that case and her opinion says a lot about her ability to be impartial.

    Since the Supreme Court takes very few cases to review, to me its not only significant that more often than not they disagreed with Sotomayer’s opinion, but in one case the disagreement was unanimous.

    Is it “significant to you” that they’ve taken less of her cases than the average Circuit judge? Or that they’ve overturned less of hers than average?

    Tell me, who has a better record than her? Let’s see an example.

    .

    Romartin16985 Says:

    It seems likely that another ruling of hers will be overturned, as she all but dismissed the Ricci case. The nature of that case and her opinion says a lot about her ability to be impartial.

    Can’t imagine why. Looks pretty cut-and-dried. If you design a written test for promotion and the results end up skewing wildly against minorities, then according to Title VII, you’ve got to chuck out the test because it’s provably racially biased. That’s what happened. That’s existing law and precedent. The lower court judge ruled according to that law as written. Sotomayor and two other judges upheld that ruling, without adding any significant comment. So what’s your problem? That she didn’t overturn the ruling because some white firefighters wanted the court to ignore the fact that the test that benefitted them was biased?

    That’s what it comes down to: she doesn’t have a record of shuckin’ and jivin’ for Whitey. She doesn’t do the Stepin’ Fetchit thing and actively defend racist policies*. In short, she hasn’t proven that she knows her place. Hence in your mind she’s the racist, because she doesn’t seem likely to defend white privilege.

    * Example: Michael Steele once defended former Gov. Bob Ehrlich’s decision to hold a $100,000 fundraiser at a country club that did not allow non-white members, saying that the club’s membership’s policies were “not an issue” because “I don’t play golf.”


  80. Jack Mehoff says:

    Rove (and his ilk) have nothing to lose; There’s nothing too low or stupid that they won’t say or do and they’re proving it daily. They are too stupid and/or closeminded to realize this “stategy” no longer works except on the 25 percenters, and I suppose they are trying to build on that, rather that moving forward with new, sensible ideas. Nothing new there.

    You may not like it but what I said is true. All you’ve got is “spanks”?

  84. smidget says:

    Are you going to deny the beatdown you got?

    If so, you better be prepared to start rebuffing the points you’ve been ignoring for about 50 posts now. But, of course you won’t, because you’re clearly an idiot.


  85. smidget says:

    No, what you said is NOT true, and anyone who is capable of speaking English can see that.

    You claimed that, and I’m quoting your own post, “Lets take into account that Sotomayor’s been overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court in her decisions 60% of the time and has another case on appeal when determining intelligence and competence”

    That is a complete and utter lie. 60% of her cases which have been selected for review by the Court have been overturned. The judicial average is 73% overturned, making her rulings above average. That said, you completely ignore the FACT that only 5 of her 300-some-odd cases have been reviewed by the court in the first place, only 3 of which were reversed, making her actual rate of overturned cases less than 1%.

    You have no leg to stand on, because you refuse to tell the truth. You chose instead to parrot talking points without even pretending to care about the veracity of those talking points, then ignore reality when it is shoved right in your face.

    Bottom line: YOU’RE AN IDIOT. Get used to it.

    The fact is that it is significant that the US Supreme Court overruled her more often than not, and as I’ve said in one case unanimously. In another case that was upheld her reasoning was questioned. And now we have another case to be reviewed.

    You may not like that her credentials are being questioned, but they should.

    Go soak you head.

    Keep ignoring reality, dumbass. Facts clearly mean nothing to you, which is why you’re an idiot. You have not spoken ONE WORD of rebuttal no matter how many times you are presented with the truth, and if you really can’t see how stupid that makes you, all I can do is beg you to not breed. We don’t need genes like yours remaining in the pool.

    For the record – I would have preferred a much more liberal appointee. I am by no stretch of the imagination her biggest fan. That doesn’t mean I’m incapable of recognizing facts, unlike some idiots on this thread. *coughromartincough*
