There are lots of smart people who are anti-intellectual. See your average bond trading desk or Fortune 500 boardroom for examples.

And yes, there are a lot of anti-intellectuals at Yale. Hundreds of Q. Desmond Thistlethwaite IV's emerge from there every year, dreaming of a partnership at Simpson Thatcher and a yacht to call their own. Bush father & son are perfect examples of the species. The groundskeepers are more compelling conversational partners.
