The GOP Case for Abolishing the DOE, #461


Posted by Bruno on October 31st, 2004

From today’s L.A. Times:

Four years ago, Bush ran even among voters with a college education. But recent polls show him trailing with that group, largely because he has lost support among college-educated men, traditionally a Republican constituency.

Bush may offset those gains by expanding his support among married women without a college education, the so-called “waitress moms” responsive to both his socially conservative and peace-through-strength messages.

Problem: smart people are abandoning the President! Solution: make fewer smart people! Eliminate the Department of Education!

On a sidenote, this article was written by Ron Brownstein. For some reason, maybe it started with Mickey Kaus’ well-documented pro-Brownstein, anti-Nagourney position, Brownstein has become the bloggers favorite reporter. So I guess I should hop on the Ron train:

Brownstein is obviously the most brilliant reporter in the business today. No one else could have come up with this genius “waitress mom” formulation. The man clearly deserves a Pulitzer.

How was that?
