In a totally gratuitous move, Monday’s season two premiere (http://forums.superherohype.com/showthread.php?t=519349) of CW’s Supergirl (formerly on CBS) referenced a past American president to imply stupidity. Guess which one.
In the the episode (http://community.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?60195-TV-Supergirl-Spoilers/page62) titled “The Adventures of Supergirl,” (http://forums.previously.tv/topic/48040-s02e01-the-adventures-of-supergirl/?do=getLastComment) Kara Danvers (Melissa Benoist) is no longer Cat Grant’s (Calista Flockhart) assistant at CatCo. A replacement, Eve Teschmacher (Andrea Brooks), has taken the job. As usual, overly demanding boss Cat is not happy with Eve’s performance. Kara encourages Cat to give Eve a chance – after all, she went to Yale. To this Cat responds lamely, “So did George Bush.”
Of all the thousands of Yale University graduates, a former president was used as an example of an Ivy League school graduate who was thought to be less than brilliant because he’s a Republican. That’s just lame.
Eight years later and elitist liberal television writers still suffer from Bush Derangement Syndrome.
