OLBERMANN'S PLASTIC IVY

[MuttTheHoople]

Fortunately, we have Keith Olbermann to point out that Rush Limbaugh did not accurately quote the preamble to the Constitution in his CPAC speech last weekend. I'm not sure what scam Olbermann imagined Rush was trying to put over on the American people by saying conservatives believed in the "preamble to the Constitution" and then quoting words from the Declaration of Independence -- but Olbermann put an end to that cruel deception!

These small-time opportunities to show off by correcting someone else's teeny-tiny mistakes are the lifeblood of Olbermann's MSNBC show, "Countdown." Olbermann is no more capable of not correcting Rep. Charlie Rangel when he said "inferred," but meant "implied," than an obsessive compulsive could pass a sink without washing his hands.

There is utterly no purpose to these lame "gotchas," except that Olbermann is so desperately insecure that he is willing to waste valuable airtime in order to convince other status-conscious idiots that he is, like, scary-smart.

Olbermann relentlessly attacked low-level Bush administration employee Monica Goodling for not going to a name-dropping college, saying -- approximately 1 million times -- that she got her law degree "by sending 100 box tops to Religious Lunatic University."

I would venture to say that the students at Goodling's law school at Regent University are far more impressive than those at the Cornell agriculture school -- the land-grant, non-Ivy League school Keith attended.

I wouldn't mention it, except that Olbermann savages anyone who didn't go to an impressive college. As it happens, he didn't go to an impressive college, either.

If you've ever watched any three nights of his show, you know that Olbermann went to Cornell. But he always forgets to mention that he went to the school that offers classes in milking and bovine management.

Indeed, Keith is constantly lying about his nonexistent "Ivy League" education, boasting to Playboy magazine, for example: "My Ivy League education taught me how to cut corners, skim books and take an idea and write 15 pages on it, and also how to work all day at the Cornell radio station and never actually go to class."

Except Keith didn't go to the Ivy League Cornell; he went to the Old MacDonald Cornell.

The real Cornell, the School of Arts and Sciences (average SAT: 1,325; acceptance rate: 1 in 6 applicants), is the only Ivy League school at Cornell and the only one that grants a Bachelor of Arts degree.

Keith went to an affiliated state college at Cornell, the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (average SAT: about that of pulling guards at the University of South Carolina; acceptance rate: 1 of every 1.01 applicants).

Olbermann's incessant lying about having an "Ivy League education" when he went to the non-Ivy League ag school at Cornell would be like a graduate of the Yale locksmithing school boasting about being a "Yale man." (continued).....

As an Ag School graduate, I normally dislike when some Ivy Leaguer skewers an Ag School graduate as a toothless, mushmouthed, illiterate, inbred, spittle-drooling, unibrowed redneck. However, in this case I'm willing to make an exception.

Kieth the Cornell Bovine Queen!

[Huck]

Most of the crooks who created this financial mess were Ivy Leaguers. It's nothing I would want to brag about. I'd be prouder of AG school. At least farmers do something useful with their education. Ivy League? Bite me.

That said, the only thing worse than an Ivy Leaguer is a pretend Ivy Leaguer.

“These small-time opportunities to show off by correcting someone else’s teeny-tiny mistakes “

Teeny-tiny mistake? Come on Ann, if a liberal had done this you’d be all over him.

[Gondring]

Ann is so far off-base on this one, I cringe.

Olbermann is a jerk, and who knows what he classes he took when he attended, but comparing the Ag School to just any old state school is ridiculous. State schools vary in quality and exclusivity, and Ann Coulter is displaying ignorance here. :-(

This is especially painful because Miss Coulter was who got me into conservative activism and journalism...at Cornell.

Olbermann is seriously unhinged. And it is not just in his schoolyard pettiness and obvious envy of everyone else. Of course NBC is in the tank but even this guy falls well short of their already rock bottom standards.

Occasionally I just have to sit back and think about who his audience can possibly be (He must have one because even though NBC is addled, it IS a business dependent upon viewers). Whoever they are the fact that they exist in sufficient numbers to maintain his presence is frightening.

Ouch!! That’s goin to leave a mark!

[gussiefinknottle]

oh, i like your name. did you go to uga ag school?

[theDentist]

Ivy league schools now are just Brand Names... little more. You actually learn more at the small schools than you do at the Ivy Leagues, where classes are PC courses to put down whites, christianity, and conservatism.

Usually I am not a fan of repeated posts on here, but you should post this every day for eternity.

[Darkwolf377]

Seeing how this is now the fourth time this has been posted, you're not doing much to improve the reputation of Ag School graduates as illiterates. :P /jk

Geez, can we just enjoy the fact that she just dressed down that idiot at MSNBC.

[Travis T. OJustice]

LOL, Keiths claims are like a mailman claiming he was “in the service” because he’s in the US Postal SERVICE.

[NativeNewYorker]

I am a proud graduate of the New York State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. I **LOVE** telling people that’s where I went. I live and work in Manhattan, in a social environment where the word agriculture literally never shows up. It’s always good for a startled laugh from folks at parties. The average Ag school grad is smarter and tougher than any Harvard ‘tard I’ve run into.

[syriacus]

Olbermann sounds like this but he isn't fit to be a feeder pig in a 4-H swine project.

[SparkyBass]

[pelican001]

She’s wrong that the College of Arts and Sciences is the only Ivy League college at Cornell. There is also the College of Engineering. Remember all those geeks that actually had homework to do, Ann?

Finally, you can stop pretending that you went to the hard-to-get-into Cornell.

It would be so nice if someone in the MSM called him out on this deceit. Imagine if Rush made such a false claim? The Today Show and Letterman would be all over it.
