Bush opposes 'legacy' college admissions

[mburbank]

I agree that one could have a nuanced enough view to actually take advantge of something and later repudiate it. Do any of you honestly think that's what's happening here?

A reporter needs to follow up with, "Do you think Yale's admitting you was the wrong thing to do?" or "Should you have been admitted to Yale?"

I don't think what you have here is either a nuanced, evolving position OR a flip-flop. It's a simple double standard.

Ask him if Jenna is qualified to go... wherever the hell she goes. Despite his manufactured Texas accent, this is an old money pig born with his head in a silver trough. His entire life has been a legacy program. For him to repudiate the idea, if not simply an expediant lie, shows an appalling lack of self knowledge. Him repudiating Legacy in anything is tantamount to saying, "Hi, I'm George Bush, and I don't deserve one damn thing I have, but I got mine, so screw you."

It's not as if he legacied into a State University and an undeserved middle management position at his Dad's Kinkos franchise.
