Malia, Michelle, Barack and the College Admissions Scandal
By Jack Cashill

What shocked even the old timers in my hometown was that Mayor Hugh Addonizio, the man who gave me my Eagle Scout Award, would accept kickbacks in cash right across his desk. They were troubled less by his criminality -- that was expected in Newark -- than by his lack of subtlety. Addonizio paid for his indiscretion with a lengthy prison sentence.

So it is with the current college admissions scandal. People have been scamming their ways into prestige universities for decades, maybe centuries, but in the past they have had the good sense not to put the cash on the table. It seems that in this scandal a few of the bribers and their brokers may well pay for their indiscretion with prison sentences as well.

The media pretend to be shocked. In an editorial on the scandal, the New York Times singled out Harvard University for its “special admissions preferences and back doors for certain applicants.” This is the same New York Times, however, that published an entirely uncritical article three years prior headlined, “Malia Obama Rebels, Sort of, by Choosing Harvard.”

How many times have these words been used by Obama and other dems?

"...people that play by the rules?"

Yet this scandal looks like an "elite" operation.

 My guess is that most who pursued this cheating scenario, are comfortably well off, donate to dems, espouse leftist talking points, raised kids that gladly take the "assistance."

These are the type, "born on third base, but think they hit homeruns."

They believe in diversity, so long as they don't et bumped to make room for an unqualified applicant.

I would be fascinated by a study that tracked some of these students, showing their academic choices and performance.

How many professors award passing frades, to clearly lousy prformers, for the sake of "goiing along to get along?"

Nobody seals their academic records without a good reason.

And thanks for taking the trouble to spell his name correctly...
