Putting an end to Constitution worship

That's an excellent point that is often overlooked by the "Sore Loserman" whingers.

It's like claiming your team would have one the Superbowl if they played it with a baseball instead of a football.

[flashbunny]

LOL... Man, these people are stupid! And Yale will reward this dork with a doctorate.

Maybe they could award him a special certificate called a dorktorate!

[tgusa]

Oh c'mon. As much as I like and respect GWB, he is a Yalie too. Yale is just another check in the block for our political elite. A Yale sheepskin is worth 'merde' except to another Yalie. Of course, they run our government, so ....

[thompsonsjkc]

Of course, he fails to grasp that the Senate was representative of the STATES, where each STATE had an equal vote, and the Senators were chosen by the STATE legislatures.

The House is representative of the PEOPLE, and as such, Wyoming has less representation than California.

[Congressman Billybob]

I am a former Editor of the Yale Daily News. I am ashamed that an article this poorly thought through has appeared in its pages. I would write a complaint letter to the current Editor, but I am certain from experience that he/she would not bother to print it.

So, on behalf of the former Editors and reporters on this once-capable newspaper, I apologize for this drivel.

Latest column: "The Hart-Miller Future of New Orleans"

[rattrap]

It probably also takes longer when the person is an idiot. ;-)

[ThomasMore]

Seriously, he must eat lead paint chips with his lunch each day.

ROTFLMAO!.... couldn't be a truer evaluation, dead!

[Adrastus]

Be fair. The poor boy hasn't been out in the real world yet, so he really doesn't know what is a good government and what isn't. North Korea? Cuba? Sounds like a good idea for some cold reality treatment to me.

That's a good question, 2cents. But then again that's the real peril of an expert. Jeffy will become more and more proficient about less and less until he knows absolutely everything about nothing. He may arrive shortly.

[Publius6961]

Yeah. This idjit has 20 years of educational experience. One year repeated 20 times.

It escaped him, evidently, that our Constitution and its proper application is what distinguishes us from all other countries. And what makes us pre-eminent.

[from occupied ga]

Wyomingite counts 68 times as much as each Californian

And this is bad because?

[NeoCaveman]

the sanctimony that has given us "Constitution Day."

The professor doesn't seem to like you much

[My2Cents]

"PhD" He can say, "Look, I'm a 'fud'."

[Fiddle E. Dee]

PHD; isn't that when you learn more and more about less and less till you know practically everything about virtually nothing?

[Paulus Invictus]

Jeff, go live in Cuba. You'll be at home there and say almost anything except criticize their commie laws.

[dirtboy]

[Jeff Mankoff is a sixth-year Ph.D. student in the History Department.]

And his parents should ask for their money back...

[Jeff Head]

BS = We already know what BS means.
MS = More of the same.
PHD= Piled higher and deeper.

[FlingWingFlyer]

More proof that anyone can get a Ph.D if you have the money to buy one. This guy is a blithering idiot.

[Sensei Ern]

"This guy has a PhD?"

PhD = Pointy-headed Doofus

[jim macomber]

"...except for some obnoxious fliers around campus put up by the Orwellian-sounding Committee for Freedom,..."

The fact that the words "Committee for Freedom" sound Orwellian to him is worth noting.
