The Family That Dumbs Together

When Republicans say, 'I'm not a scientist',  someone should tell them they aren't supposed to be claiming the fact as a proud accomplishment.
Not being a scientist is quite different than not being a violent felon. Is the Republican Party at all aware of this?
At the very moment Scott Walker works to gut one of the best university systems in the world, (University of Wisconsin/Madison) his sons announce they will drop out of  'college' too, like dear old dad did- for the campaigning.
How are we going to go from Harvard grads running the most lucrative or peace-keeping years of our
country since the 70s to some college drop-out gangs running all our shows?
While it's very true we don't all need to attend universities in order to be good, efficient, intelligent
citizens- why would any of us attempt to become the most powerful person in the world without
a formal education.
And I suspect it's true Walker and Co. could hardly do any worse than the war-mongering Bushes;  he wouldn't have much choice but to try. He would know nothing of what he actually was doing.
Or maybe people are thinking he wouldn't need to know. As I recall, he's a Koch brothers' toy, and they went to M.I.T. They would be the ones actually running things!
What a disaster, probably a la Dick Cheney. Speaking of, though ... the former V.P. did get it surprisingly right when he was emphatic about declaring Tom Cotton's dance with 47 colleagues a grand faux pas, as it attempted to undermine our country's real foreign policy regarding Iran.
