OLBERMANN'S PLASTIC IVY

OMG, what a universally glory smack-down. You would have to paid by Vince McMahon himself in order to issue a smackdown more massive than this one.

Olbermann is a giant tool. He got fired repeated for being a giant, arrogant A$$hole. Finally, he found a network and a format where that was an asset (even if it meants being third out of three in the ratings).

With that being said, can I get a shout out from all those Alpha Gamma Rho brothers out there??? (I didn’t pledge but I was invited... and they certainly were Ivy league tools where I came from).

"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. "

He might not know what the oppositional defiant grammar/spelling/word fetishist version of obsessive compulsive disorder is or that speed-demon Tourette's (or too much cappuccino) makes that worse.

Which may explain the "I know what you are, but what am I?" games on the Countdown.

They need to stop drinking on top of Dexedrine at BSNBC.

I made it a point to watch “Countdown” w/ Keith Olberman tonight to see if he would respond to this..and sure enough he did...and stated exactly what you just did..and showed his diploma on air...also mentioning that he attained that degree in 7 semesters ..paying a fraction of what Ann probably did ..and all the while attending classes at the College of Arts & Sciences that Ann touts so highly....

I was surprised at Ann’s elitest attitude...I actually enjoy her commentary but she really stooped pretty low this time..
I’ll score this one as a K.O. for the Olb.
Perhaps she’ll do better when she takes on Bill Maher....

P.S. My Grandfather was a Forestry Grad from Cornell...

” Just enjoy the fact that she just dressed down that idiot at MSNBC “ ?

Not if she skews facts..and it doesn’t stick.

She swung .....and missed.

I went to Mississippi State Engineering school.

I won't. She's right: He got admitted as a state school applicant - couldn't compete with the Arts & Sciences crowd. He cleared much lower acceptance standards.

Her point for the thin-skinned is that this idiot goes around acting like he's brilliant, claiming he's a Cornell man, and denigrating those without an ivy league degree. But he didn't get accepted to an ivy league school. He got accepted to a school that is closer to the Regent University Law School that he mocks. That's the point. Not whether Ag school students feed the world, or are as smart at those Harvard boys.

I know a guy who went to the same school. When I first met him I said, "oh you went to Cornell." He replied, "Not really. Not that Cornell." He knew enough to note the difference.

[woofie]

I think you are correct about her point

[ozzymandus]

SS-Olbermann is so busted! Olbie was waving his diploma around tonight claiming the ag school he attended is “the same school” as Cornell University. I hope somebody brings this up every time olbie opens his yap.

[Dixiekraut]

Thanks for the info.

What you say may be true..but in going after Olb’s elitist posturing I think she came off a little elitist herself.

[pelican001]

Thanks forthe reminder. I think you’re exactly right, that the orginal charter was to promote the “mechanical and agricultural sciences.” The Ivy League was later formed as a sports league.
