Was that really Dylan and not Paul Simon?

You forget I am a drop out.

Yeah Dylan was more "users, cheaters, 6 time losers; "

By the way Paul Simon was a dropout.

Other famous dropouts:
Teddy Roosevelt
Vince Lombardi
Al Gore no surprise here eh Chip
Diane Sawyer
Donald Rumsfeld (you think?)
Federico Fellini (not technically a dropout as he never attended a single class)

They're both prophets in my opinion.

Might want to recheck that. Wiki has different info.

Rumsfeld attended Baker Demonstration School, a private middle school, and later graduated[10] from New Trier High School. He attended Princeton University on academic and NROTC partial scholarships (A.B., 1954).


In 1967, Sawyer received a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in English from Wellesley College in Wellesley, Massachusetts.

Gore attended the all-boys St. Albans School in Washington, D.C. from 1956 to 1965, a prestigious feeder school for the Ivy League.[22][23] He was the captain of the football team, threw discus for the track and field team, and participated in basketball, art, and government.[15][18][24][25] He graduated 25th in his class of 51, applied to only one college, Harvard, and was accepted.[22][23]

In 1933, Lombardi accepted a football scholarship[29] to Fordham University[30] in the Bronx to play for the Fordham Rams and Coach Jim Crowley, one of the Four Horsemen of Notre Dame in the 1920s. During his freshman year, Lombardi proved to be an aggressive and spirited player on the football field.[31] Prior to the start of his sophomore year, Lombardi was projected as a starter at tackle. Lombardi was undersized for the position (5'8" and about 180 lb.)[32]
In his senior year (1936), he became the right guard in the Seven Blocks of Granite,[33] a nickname given to the Fordham University football team's offensive front line[34] by a Fordham University publicist.[note 3][35]

He matriculated at Harvard College in 1876. His father's death in 1878 was a tremendous blow, but [b]Roosevelt redoubled his activities. He did well in science, philosophy and rhetoric courses but fared poorly in Latin and Greek

They are all listed as top 10 law school dropouts.

True they might have had limited success with the easy stuff.

I'll listen when a Princeton grad gives an opinion, but not so much when Whoppie and Leo (both HS dropouts) lecture to me.

How about an Idaho grad? (Sarah Palin)

Lets see, her dad was a science teacher, her mom was a HS secretary, she actually graduated from college, has a firm handle on the energy industry in Alaska, has governed at several levels, and owns a business with her husband. Married once, athletic, in shape, attractive.

So if you're asking would I give her more cred than a high school dropout, welfare recipient, former drug addict who married her drug counselor, divorced him, married another guy, got knocked up and divorced him after one year, married one more time, divorced him, was a grandmother at 34, who named herself after the whoopie cushion. Fat, out of shape, doesn't take care of herself. Makes the bulk of her money being on a show geared to the sub 95 IQers.

To answer your question, hell yes I'd listen to Palin over this dope.

She went to seven different colleges, ended up with a (wait for it) COMMUNICATIONS DEGREE and you were MORE THAN WILLING to vote for her as POTUS, Mr. Righteous.

That's worse than listening to a HS dropout actor pontificate about an issue because they've become recently aware and think they're the only ones who understand.

Did I say I'd vote for her for President....................well I suppose if she were running against a high school drop out named after the whoopie cushion (true), who was a drug addict. Yeah, not a tough choice.

At least we're spared hearing Glen Rice stories.

Well for the most part when it came to an opponent for "The One" I'd have voted for anyone who could balance a check book, produce a household budget, or who understood that Washington is not a bottomless pit full of money.

You act as though we've never seen anyone of her limited intellect before. Apparently, you don't follow Joe Biden. The ol gaff master is next in line for the WH, and he lost his debate with her.

No, at the time, you were all about Sarah, the "Communications Major from her seventh college" Palin.

EOD.

Really you want to lecture me on a VP candidate. You loudly endorsed John Edwards.

Palin was a VP candidate, not a presidential candidate. Both her and McCain had values and principles that I share, although neither were ideal candidates. But compared to what we have now, I'd take either in a heartbeat. Going on our 5th year of 8% plus unemployment. How did this dope get elected?

I liked John Edwards. Never said I knew his inside story, as for Sarah, we know her story, it doesn't cascade well, not even on reality tv. SHE got the ziggy there because nobody cared to hear her drabble any longer.

We have a guy now that inherited a Dumbya mess and is turning it around better than your "I hate the 47%" hero ever could have, but that's a moot point, HE LOST Nice to have direction other than "bomb the Middle East".

Blaming him for unemployment is a cop out, we're at 7.8% when the rest of the world is in double digits and not faring so well. Two plus years of positive job numbers every month can't be dismissed after dealing with the Dumbya/Cheney fallout.

Because the lame stream media don't do an ounce of investigative reporting on Dems. They just swoon over them.

Fox IS gross that way.
