1. Not so much the value of the degree, but of one in particular who holds it.

If he feels its worthless its because he made it so himself.

2. I'll double it if he will resign

3. Well...he has one. Bush has a Yale undergraduate degree.

Ivy blight?

4. FU,Clarence.My dad is a Yalie

He received his degree through the DOD.Yale is a great university.My mother's side of the family earned their living through Yale.My mom was the secretary of Eugene O'Neil when he was at Yale.I wish I could have gone to Yale.You reap what you sow.

5. I would say that he has devalued it much more than that.

6. A lot of DC and NYC law firms think that degree is worth $160,000+

and welcome minorities.

10. To be fair, they didn't welcome minorities in the 1960s and 1970s.

They saw the person, the African American, who probably wouldn't "fit in". I doubt they even paid much attention to the Yale Law degree after becoming aware that he was African American.

Of course, I think it's Clarence Thomas who is worth 15 cents.

7. And Clarence Thomas' two cents are worth how much?

Hint: not even two cents.

8. I guess an undergraduate degree from Yale due to legacy admissions is worth 1 cent

Perhaps Thomas didn't mean this, but according to his logic, wouldn't that mean that Bush's degree is even more worthless, seeing as how he got in on legacy admissions?

9. He had to wait MONTHS before he got a job offer. Poor little Clarence.

Maybe prospective employers thought that huge chip on your shoulder might get in the way of you doing your job, Clarence.

11. Almost as scary as Cheney.

And he's gonna be around for a looooong time.
