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.
