Being elite, being educated and studying issues and subjects is a good thing in my book.
BTW- I can't write for shit either.

The problem is really with pseudo-intellectuals. For example I have a bachelors degree and one of my best friends doesn't- the only thing that means is that I went to school and did what it took to get a diploma and he did not. In my view a pseudo-intellectual makes judgments based on something like a diploma rather than the individual. It seems Palin's biggest problem is that she is an outsider or different than those inside the beltway or those in the media fraternity. People secure with their intellect don't need to demean others and are accepting of the value of what differences bring to the table. No person is perfect but that does not mean they can not do great things or bring value.
