I didn't watch Rachel last night, but...

For a guy like you, an uneducated moron who was socially promoted
out of
high school and who has never held a decent job, to call Ms. Maddow
"stupid" is just...a statement that qualifies as one of the dumbest
remarks ever.

Anytime Rachel belches, she is expelling more brain activity than you
have ever had. Among her many achievements, Rachel holds a Doctor of
Philosophy in politics from Oxford University. You wouldn't qualify to
swab out toilets at Oxford.



A PhD doesn't mean someone is "smart". It means he or she satisfied
the course requirements and impressed a mentor and board with a
dissertation.

Oh, please stop with these anti-higher-education tirades of yours. They
just make you look silly. I know a few people with doctorates and I know
what they went through to get them. To even get into a first-rate
doctoral program, you had to have high GRE scores, high grades, be
personally interviewed by several faculty members, and have significant
letters of recommendation. There were multi-day exams at the end of each
year, and I know of several students who were "dropped" halfway through,
there were proficiency requirements in math and science and foreign
languages, faculty committees to be satisfied, preparation of a
significant research project, having the proposed project evaluated by
internal and external faculty committees, spending about a year doing
the research, evaluating it, preparing a half dozen dissertation drafts,
teaching classes, more exams, a final exam on "knowledge" that lasted
two days, and a full-fledged defense of the dissertation before three
university faculty members and several faculty members from other
universities.

Anyone who has an earned doctorate through a rigorous on-campus program
is smart. To posit otherwise is just silliness. "Satisfying the course
requirements..." What a laugh.

And for a moron like Ingersoll to claim Rachel Maddow is "stupid" just
reveals how stupid he is.



My anti-higher-education "tirades"? I feel nothing of the sort.

My objections are with people who feel they are somehow superior,
smarter or "better" simply because they have advanced or more than one
degree.

You often happen to be a perfect example.


My middle daughter, the tatooed pierced, "uneducated" one just landed a
job as "Transportation Supervisor" (one of 17 in the country) ... not
assistant supervisor, hub supervisor.... with one of the top three
private mail companies in the world at a salary nearly triple what she
was making at the Medical Equipment Business.....:)

So there you go....

Dumbest statement ever...

Hsrry, you may as we'll relax. This is nothing to get wound up about. Rachel May be smart. I don't watch her. Then again I don't watch fox either so I don't see or follow any of it.

What Richard is saying though is a sheepskin may prove a so called
higher education but a person can have all the education they can stand
and still be an educated idiot.

After all, Condi Rice has a doctorate and you've openly expressed your
views concerning her mental stability. So...



I don't think I've ever commented on Ms. Rice's mental abilities. I
assume you meant ability, not stability. I think she's very smart and
mentally stable. On the other hand, Dick Cheney is very smart, but
mentally unstable. I think George W. Bush is mentally stable, but
intellectually dim and also intellectually lazy. His paternal
grandfather was a lot smarter, and so is his dad.

The subject here was Rachel Maddow, who is as smart as a person gets,
and who also has advanced degrees. One of the resident morons here
claimed she was "stupid." That was stupid.



Whatever. She's not stupid IMO. She's making a decent paycheck
cackling away on MSNBC. I used to listen to her but found I can't
handle her constant whining and complaining of anything not progressive
or liberal.





Guess it's a matter or perception.. I think anybody who can sit there
and make **** up all day long and lie for a paycheck, is stupid.. In her
case thinking anybody takes her seriously also makes her stupid... let's
not even discuss harry... or the real topic of the thread for that
matter, the statement itself...:)

Wow...nice to know someone in your family is employable.

Well, what Rachel does is better than what you do, since you sit around,
make **** up all day long, and don't get a paycheck.

I'm glad for her Scott. She's headed in the right direction and I'm glad for her!

Harry, I may have used a poor choice of phrasing but now that you've mentioned those in your list. None of them have less than a MA degree.

Yeah, I will get with you.. wait till you hear the details. One that is
relevant to all we have been talking bout here lately is she is getting
100% health paid for...:)

It is interesting how things have changed in the corporate world. She
has to wear long sleeves to hide the tats, but they are very aware she
has them...

Dumbest statement ever...
 

Cool Scott. I'm looking forward to hearing the details!

The only dimwit on that short list was Dubya, who was a legacy.
