Cornel West being hyped by MTV

Argh, my girlfriend and I were watching the Jackass marathon this weekend on MTV. They constantly played spots featuring West (whose racist and socialist past it was up to me to elaborate upon of course) and the idiotic "truth.org" anti-smoking ads.

The biggest "Jackasses" weren't on the show. At least Margera, Knoxville, et all were funny-on-purpose.

kanye west, cornell west they’re all the same-worhtless, well all except adam west.

Cornell West spoke at my college graduation 12 years ago. He was a marble mouthed mush head who was wholly unintelligable.

At least Margera, Knoxville, et all were funny-on-purpose.

That's debatable anymore.

Is this they guy Tina Fey said was Rush Limbaugh?

That's debatable anymore.

Bam Margera's still funny. His wedding-planning show (Bam's Unholy Union) was hilarious.

Cornell West lives the next town over from me. He looks like he hasn’t changed his hairstyle since the Knicks won the NBA championship.

[Tallguy]

Cornell West always struck me as a politically-oriented version of Professor Irwin Corey. Double-talking & incomprehensible — only without the comedic value.

I hear he’s not taken seriously on the Princeton campus.

[Clemenza]

No he is not. When he got canned from Harvard, there was alot of hoopla. Most of the students and faculty at Tiger U. see him as a harmless, overpaid eccentric.

All the brains at Princeton are at the Institute for Advanced Study, although I take issue with some of their selections in the "humanities."

I tried to read ‘Race Matters’, it was gibberish, I could not make heads nor tails of what he was trying (or not) to say.

[Phantom Lord]

While what he was saying at my graduation was likely gibberish, the problem was he was so marble mouthed you couldn’t understand any of the words coming out of his mouth. It was literally like listening to Mush Mouth from Fat Albert.
