"Janette Turner Hospital"

Isn't that where they sent Karl Childers ?

[Cu Roi]

Academics like this bring to mind Ambrose Bierce's definition of erudition: "Dust shaken out of a book into an empty skull."

“Janette Turner Hospital”

I think some annoyed USC student should put this elitist a-hole in the Columbia Presbyterian Hospital!

[yetidog]

Back in the day, we used to call such folks “greenasses.”.

[Brucifer]

She’s an arrogant snot. She’s not much of a writer, but apparently she can type pretty good. I didn’t see one spelling error either.

[Tzimisce]

What do you expect? This woman is a lib.

[Stormdog]

Another irrelevant ego taking up space at an over rated and over priced diploma mill.
Maybe she can get a job ghostwriting for another hyper inflated Columbia ego currently residing in the White House.

As someone once said:

“Why are academics so political? Because there is so little at stake.”

the crackle of intellectual energy in the air is almost visible, like blue fire.

Wouldn't "like a blue flame" be superior?

Oliver Sacks, Simon Schama, Richard Howard, Margo Jefferson, etc.,

They're all probably mortified being in this dingbat's rant.

The comments were hilarious—and astute. Oh, boy, has this naive fool shot herself in the foot.

[Chode]

Janette from another planet...

[Billthedrill]

I’m happy she’s happy. Were she ever to come to a sober assessment of the quality of her writing, she won’t be.

"The true measure of a man's stature is given not by what they brag about but by what they take for granted."

Cheers!

[SaraJohnson]

Make her a White House Czar quick! She’d fit right in with the smart people.

[muir_redwoods]

Effete liberals are such children.

I really think this is all a bit overblown. The lady is obviously in heaven regarding her new position and life, and anxious to share her joy by encouraging other students to follow her.
I think what’s riling people, is her naivete in matters of funding attending Columbia, and partaking in her lifestyle.

[SunkenCiv]

Guilty!
