Greta Van Susteren is FAR from Dumb

Measuring intelligence by formal education
If we measure intelligence by the number of degrees one has, Greta Van Susteren ranks among the top 27.4 percent of the population (those with a Bachelor's degree or higher). That leaves more than 70 percent of our population in the United States with only a high school education or less.1 Greta holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Wisconsin, a Juris Doctor and a Master of Law from Georgetown University Law Center.2

Greta vs. blogger
The internet poll rating the intelligence of Greta or a blogger (with bad grammar) ranked Greta as being dumber than the blogger by 68 percent. Remembering that 70 percent of the population is formally "dumber" than Greta (i.e. no college degrees)...I would assume that nearly all of the lower educated people sided with the uneducated blogger. Birds of a feather...

Holding the right people accountable
If there's anything "dumb" being said during her broadcast, I, being one of the 27.4 percent of the population, would blame the producers of the show. They are the ones accountable. Greta is the delivery mechanism for the show's message and content. She's not necessarily the originator.
