In reply to the discussion: I'm SHOCKED! Brat didn't go to Princeton Univ. [View all]madaboutharry

Although Josh Marshall, an actual graduate of Princeton University, wrote on Talking Points Memo that he doesn't see it as much of an issue, I think there was intent to mislead. When you hear the words "that he tested his rural values against the intellectual elite while at Princeton," I at least, would be left with the impression that he is referring to Princeton Universtiy. Princeton Theological Seminary is not what people think of when they hear "Princeton." I think the reference is intentionally misleading, otherwise it would have been specifically spelled out.
