In 2009, one subway minstrel assumed Harvard was involved in the gag—perhaps the result of Primal Scream lore, or the correlation between intelligence and disregard or ignorance of social norms. As he sang an impromptu song, he quizzed a scantily clad passerby, “Are you from Harvard? …No? You should...
...begun to surface, one that is often startling and sometimes shocking. We learned that Palin was scarcely vetted by McCain's lawyers before being placed on the Republican ticket.

The fact that, at her lowest moments during preparation for her debate against Joe Biden, some senior McCain aides worried that she was mentally unstable...

And they enjoy little public confidence amid widespread allegations of venality.
