This is the last thing...

...about the admissions scandal unless there's actual news or I have something I think is intelligent to say about it.

Lori Loughlin and subnormal daughter at airport.

Since I keep posting about this college admissions scandal, here's from counterpunch.org, comments from Jeffery St Clair:
+ Most of the people implicated in the college entrance bribery scam are corporate executives, but the media has spent 98% of its time focusing on two B-list Hollywood actresses.
+ Why you should be contributing to Lori & Felicity’s Defense Fund: Their children cheated their ways into “elite” universities, so that your child wouldn’t be stuck with soul-crushing debt and forced to pay it off by taking a job at a hedge fund or oil industry lobby shop.
+ I was on a plane with Lori Loughlin in the mid-80s, during her first season on Full House. She was in the middle seat and sweetly said she’d love to see the Rockies. I gallantly offered her my window seat. I should have asked for money.
+ In the wake of the college admissions bribery scandal, it’s perhaps worth recalling the words of Antonin Scalia during oral arguments in an affirmative action case, where the justice advised that “black students should go to a less-advanced school, a slower-track school where they do well.”
Perhaps it is wrong to focus on the alleged wrong-doing of two B-list Hollywood actresses. I never heard of either one of them before now. How the hell did Jeffery St Clair recognize Lori Loughlin? Surely he wasn't an admirer of Full House. And you forget now what a crude racist Scalia was.
