If you allow me to play the pop-psychologist here… it seems to me she is just working out her long held frustrations with her own academic struggles. She’s exhibit A in her own (glibertarian) arguments against public education.

I guess so. I mean I’ve had my own academic struggles. After all, I am going to be getting my BA at 24. I just cannot stand people like Palin who use the bully pulpit to mock intellectualism. There’s nothing wrong with being smart and many in this country seem to disdain that for some reason. A professor of mind made a good point about elitism in this country. He said that we love elite athletes but intellectual elites are often disdained. He was talking about this since disdain towards intellectual elites was a huge part of the Cultural Revolution.
