Regarding reading at Harvard and Yale ..........

.......... A lot of reading occurs there. In fact, an incredibly large number of very intelligent people go there and have gone there. I'm surprised that Bush didn't pick up more of an interest in reading while he was attending those two great universities.

Bush's anti-intellectual behavior perplexes me. He's had great opportunities in life to be a part of the intellectual elite. But he has refused to join those forces. Intellectuals are not strictly limited to liberals. Robert Novak, Tucker Carlson, and William Buckley, people with whom I disagree politically, are conservatives whose opinions are based on reading and research.

Bush takes great pride in not reading. He has pointed out that he does not read the newspaper. This is so whether reading occurs at Ivy League institutions or not.
