That’s right folks, that’s exactly what Mr. President said last week when he noted that he was opposed to legacy admissions. That’s right folks, George W. Bush is opposed to people receiving special treatment because of their place in the social hierarchy or, to be more specific, who their father is.

For obvious reasons I find this pretty rich. After all, W. was not just a legacy admission to Yale, he’s a LEGACY PRESIDENT. Nothing he has done in his entire life was done without the help of his father and his name. Ok, that’s probably not true. He probably did a keg stand or two without help from poppa.

NOTE: I understand that when asked the question, he didn’t really have a politically viable option but to say that he opposed them. But doesn’t that say something about his own life and the public’s cognitive dissonance that his life story is politically unacceptable?
