WTFriday: Mitch Daniels Edition

So I got to meet Mitch Daniels today!  He said, "Do you go to American?"

I said, "What, do I not look smart enough for Georgetown? Oh, no, I'm a proud Hoya!"

I have a lot of respect for Gov. Daniels' ideas and one harmless question certainly doesn't change that.  He is far from the first to assume I don't go to Georgetown, even when I'm, well, at Georgetown!  Once every weekend someone at a party will ask me, "Oh, wait, you go here?"  I try not to let it get to me- but when someone who I look up to takes one look at me and thinks I don't fit here, what now?

A screen grab from Mean Girls, that's what.

Mitch Daniels, the early years.
