I have to cut her some slack on this — journalists don’t usually do any research. They mostly make $%#& up.
LOL thank God for the internet so people can see that these people are no different than 0. Dummies who don’t know what they are talking about.
Derek Zoolander: Or are you here to tell me what a bad eugoogoolizer I am?
Matilda: A what?
Derek Zoolander: A eugoogoolizer... one who speaks at funerals.
[Matilda looks at Derek confused]
Derek Zoolander: Or did you think I was too stupid to know what a eugoogooly was?
Now, if you google
Ann + Curry + Drunk + Google
You get over 44,000 hits

How fitting for a TV news-journalist.

One or both of these colleges should have modified its name a long time ago.
