Heh. I conflated his Facebook posts and Tweets with those of Aaron Schock's staffer who also had to resign this week.

Though it turns out that the Bush guy also published some stuff in college about how black people needed to "pull up their baggy pants", etc.
He basically said "MLK was one of the good ones". The idea of defending the guy based on a "culture of outrage" is so ridiculous. I can't with the Justine Sacca book tour.

Please enjoy a tea party poll where you get to pick who you would vote for if the election were today. From the comments I get the impression Sarah Palin is the favorite.

Jeb Bush trying to be the tech-savy candidate has very high entertainment value.

All of the stuff is what you'd expect a college Republican to think is OK to write.

We're going to see a lot more of this as kids who were in college during the explosion of social media start getting high-level campaign jobs.

Well yeah obviously, but I'd expect Jeb's people to be a little more on top of things and cast a wider net. Though I'm guessing they probably will now.

I guess Duke didn't require a bachelor's at the time but that's pretty uncommon isn't it? And if an MD has, well, the MD, especially from Duke, I wonder how much it matters.

there are a few medical schools that don't require an undergraduate degree, just the completion of whatever their undergrad prerequisites are. If I had a duke acceptance when I was still a year or whatever from finishing a degree I probably wouldn't have bothered to graduate either.

The sticking point is that he's claiming to have degrees that he doesn't have. Regardless of what other degrees he does have.

Right, probably should have added that I wouldn't have lied about it on national media either. How loving hard is it to say "i studied X in college" (true) vs "I have a degree in x" (idiot)

Since he does have a medical degree it's going to be an issue that amounts to nothing though. If he had no postgraduate degree it would probably become a thing, but as it is it's at best going to be relegated to weird trivia. Like Presidential left handedness.

The thing is, you're usually competing against hordes of applicants who have just as good MCAT scores, GPAs, extracurriculars and undergraduate degrees. Without something else, like being a legacy admission because your daddy is an alumnus and a Congressman, you probably wouldn't get an acceptance.

Yeah, but Rand Paul opposes Affirmative Action, presumably because he believes in merit based admissions. Except when he benefits from non-merit consideration, of course.

The only moral non-merit considerations are my non-merit considerations.

Ding. Ding. Ding. The thing to remember about Paul isn't that his positions are batshit (they are), or that he constantly makes poo poo up (though he does), but that he is foremost a coward.

Jeb doing a tech-based "roll the dice, pick a wimmin" move like McCain did, for the Jeb-Carly ticket will be incredible.

Carly has also put a lot thought into a new image and fetching bobbed hair so she'll draw the remnants of the "Sarah Palin is Hawt!" crowd that had no problem votin' for a 'looker' so long as she was McCain's looker.

That was probably more just an attack of opportunity. It would seem weird to bring it up without context, but Brian Williams creates a great chance to remind people about it.
