Those who can, do.
Those who can’t, teach.
Those who can’t do either, administrate.

I always thought it was:

Those who can, do.
Those who can’t, teach.
Those who can’t do either, teach gym.

But then, what is the difference?

Since we are throwing the book at drunken drivers and are on the topic of DUIs, let us not forget that a drunken Ted Kennedy left a woman to die in his mother’s Oldsmobile at Chappaquiddick.

As Garyt aptly notes, the Dems never seem to get the same level of scrutiny (or any for that matter) when they screw up (I cite the the comments of Trent Lott and Chris Dodd on Strom Thurmond and Robert Byrd respectively, or the scrutiny of President Bush’s and John Kerry’s Vietnam era exploits).

Wonder why that is? /sarcasm

LGM you are a little late about your post on Bush having a DUI. The previous post did mention it and all the publicity it got compared to top demos getting them. Admit that the Demos own the media.

I first heard that expression ~35 years ago from my mother, who taught for 30 years!

From an episode of “The White Shadow” of the late 70s-early 80s:

Those who can, do.
Those who can’t, teach.
Those who can’t do either, administrate.

Universities are NOT fair and balanced, and the American education system is becoming more of a joke as ways to skirt around hard work and studying are found and masked by concepts like tolerance and diversity.

Liberals can simmer over it all they want, but we all know it’s true.”

You are absolutely correct.

It is past the time for a far more effective, far less expensive alternative to a college so-called education as a way to educate young people to enter the work force.

I’m all for throwing the book at DWIs. Did you know our President is one too?

But about NYU and out of power bureaudemocrats (or demobureaucrats), many high level bureaucrats of both parties park themselves in universities when their party is out of office. The Hoover Institute has lots of Republican parking spaces. Often the affiliations are pretty loose. “Distinguished visitor” means the person has a desk and a library card, but probably not a salary. If the person wants to live in a major city, the choices are Columbia or NYU or Georgetown or Harvard.

When Bill Moyers got busted in Vermont for drunk driving, the MSM barely mentioned it. When Sid Vicious gets busted for drunk driving in New Hampshire the news media barely mentioned it. When the MSM got wind of the fact in 2000 that George W. Bush had been arrested for drunk driving in Maine in 1975, the MSM paraded it all over the media. And what was truly sanctimonious about Moyers was that right after his arrest for drunk driving, he was back on PBS (our tax dollars at work) ranting about the Bush administration’s “lawlessness”. Moyers and Sid Vicious could both have killed children when they were driving drunk and their judgment and vision gets impaired. Yet neither Sid Vicious or Bill Moyers sees anything hypocritical about driving drunk and then lecturing others about “lawlessness”.

At least, ol’ Sid should have plenty of familiarity with the laws he broke.
What I find disturbing is that this incident got less coverage than when former Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio was DUI the year before.
Let’s see now…one guy played music for a living, the other was an assistant to a former and (possibly) future president – OF COURSE we’ll cover the guitar guy!

Perhaps Sid the Squid Blumenthal and Bill Moyers can arrange a NUI…I mean an NYU symposium on ‘Right-Wing Media Bias Towards Liberal DUI Offenders.’
