Herein follows an incomplete list of Ivy League graduates that have recently served, or are currently serving, in our government:
(Some went to Harvard, some to Yale, a few to Princeton, and several went to two of the three.)
Ted Cruz, asshole Senator from Texas.
Tom Cotton, asshole Senator from Arkansas.
Ben Sasse, asshole Senator from Nebraska.
Ron DeSantis, criminal Governor of Florida.
Mike Pompeo, Wilbur Ross, Elaine Chao, Steve Mnuchin, proud members of the "former guy's" Cabinet. All corrupt in different ways. (Der Trumpo himself went to grad school at Penn's Wharton School, where he was described by one of his professors as "the dumbest goddamn student I ever had.")
Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh, justices of the Supreme Court, and blights on the very idea of the Law.
Of course we must not ever forget Simple W, (George W. Bush) and the Dark Lord (Dick Cheney), those draft dodging war mongers who gave us the multi-trillion dollar sinkhole that is Iraq.
And, just for nostalgia's sake, J. Fife Symington, former Governor of Arizona, whom, when caught in some legal trouble, defended himself by saying, essentially, "they should have known I was lying."
I suppose it's really very simple:
If you went into the Ivy League as a complete asshole, chances are you will come out as a complete asshole, too.
Even the best schools can't fix that.
