Tonight on “Special Report” he advanced the thesis that opposition to Miers by conservatives is simply an example of conservative Ivy League elitism. I am an enormous fan of Hume’s but I think he’s doing himself a real disservice here. And, as odd as it may sound, I think Mara Liasson and Mort Kondracke were far more accurate in their analysis tonight. If there’s a real bias on the right it’s that we wanted a major fight over the best, most serious conservative available and Bush went with a pragmatic choice that seems too clever by half. It may be that Bush is right and many of us are wrong. But the idea that this is about pro-Harvard and Yale bias is simply absurd. Yes, there might be some elitism involved but college pride isn’t the story. Rush Limbaugh is no acolyte of the Ivy League. Nor am I. Nor are many of the folks around here. I normally rely on Hume for cutting through the silly journalistic short cuts of the mainstream media. Tonight he offered one of his own.
