Stephen King: Another clueless tool

Here we go again, another idiot who can't keep his ignorance and bias out of public view. He said to a group of high school kids at an event at the Library of Congress:

"I don't want to sound like an ad, a public service ad on TV, but the fact is if you can read, you can walk into a job later on. If you don't, then you've got, the Army, Iraq, I don't know, something like that. It's, it's not as bright. So, that's my little commercial for that.

Sadly, as fewer and fewer people have any exposure to the military, more and more will accept this stuff as fact. He is probably sitting at home right now wondering why this is such a big deal. After all, I'm sure all the people he knows feel the same way...
