Who Cares if Scott Walker Doesn'€™t Have a College Degree?
2015-02-04
Oh noze! He can't parse to the Ivy League stylebook! / sarc
He's not a lawyer? Don't you have to be a lawyer to be a politician?

#14  On March 11 2014, Hillary Clinton gave a speech. One member of the media asked her what she thought were the major accomplishments of her tenure as Secretary of State.

She answered;
My accomplishments as Secretary of State? Well, I'm glad you asked. My proudest accomplishment in which I take the most pride, mostly because of the opposition it faced early on, you know. The remnants of prior situations and mindsets that were too narrowly focused in a manner whereby they may have overlooked the bigger picture and we didn't do that. Very proud. I would say that's a major accomplishment.

And BTW, she was the First First-Lady to have a post-graduate degree.

#13  That's what you call a feature, not a bug.

#12  It would be better if he had a degree. That said, he's been proven on the field. If this were his first term something like this would leave the door open for the Left's media machine to 'define' him. Recall that Palin was in his first term as governor. Now that Walker has been in office for 6 years his record will define him, not the lack of a degree.

#11  Wizard of Oz: Why, anybody can have a brain. That's a very mediocre commodity. Every pusillanimous creature that crawls on the Earth or slinks through slimy seas has a brain. Back where I come from, we have universities, seats of great learning, where men go to become great thinkers. And when they come out, they think deep thoughts and with no more brains than you have. But they have one thing you haven't got: a diploma.

#9  At least he's open about it now, so that's a revelation relief.

#8  The elitist left can't help themselves. Look at how they sneered down their nose at Palin. That whole SNL run was one long sneer at her supposed stupidity and ignorance. They will try the same with Scott.

#3  Considering the quality of minds coming out of Harvard I call it a feature.
