rove on george w bush:

“The myth was that this guy, who was a Yale history grad and a Harvard MBA, was not smart.”

“You don’t make it through either [Yale or Harvard] unless you are a reader.”

rove on sotomayor, with charlie rose:

Charlie - “She is very smart.”

Rove “Not necessarily.”

Charlie - “What do you mean? She went to Princeton where she graduating with honors and then went on to Yale Law School….”

Rove- “I know lots of stupid people who went to Ivy League schools.” (thinkprogress)

Rove, Cheney, Limbaugh, Yoo etc are not smart people.. they are bullies who are unaccostomed to being called to account for their words. They rose to power in an era where the media would not fact-check them, would not ask aggresive follow-up questions..
