OLBERMANN'S PLASTIC IVY

by Ann Coulter

March 4, 2009

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." 

Among the graduates of the Ivy League Cornell are Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Thomas Pynchon, Paul Wolfowitz, E.B. White, Sanford I. Weill, Floyd Abrams, Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Ginsburg, Janet Reno, Henry Heimlich and Harold Bloom. 

Graduates of the ag school include David LeNeveu of the Anaheim Ducks, Mitch Carefoot of the Phoenix RoadRunners, Darren Eliot, former professional hockey player, and Joe Nieuwendyk, multiple Stanley Cup winner. 

One begins to understand why Harvard students threw a chicken on the ice during Cornell's famous rout of Harvard at a 1973 hockey game. 

If you actually want to pursue a career related to agriculture, there is no better school than the Cornell ag school. I have nothing but admiration for the farmers and aspiring veterinarians at the ag school. They didn't go there just to have "Cornell" on their resumes.

Not an Olberman fan...he’s an egotistical blowhard..a bit like that radio pundit in the news lately...

Consider this..if Maureen Dowd called out Sean Hannity in a similar manner..and Sean went on air with his diploma bragging that he rec’d the same degree only he managed to get in and pay a whole lot less..legions of Freepers would be trumpeting his academic ability and business acumen.

But unlike Olbermann Hannity is not one to wear his sheepskin around his neck.I’m not even sure he has a “higher” education....like that other radio guy....
all they need is a good producer and research staff.

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

Not true.

There are four undergraduate schools under the Ivy league banner at Cornell:
Arts&Science
Engineering
Hotel Management
Architecture

However, Ann is technically correct about the Ag school. It is a New York state school.

I hope she doesn't tick off the Aggies too much; engineering and aggie students were the only ones who tended to be conservative at Cornell.

It would probably be the other way since Olbermann is trying to cover up his academic past and, in doing so, bringing obloquy to the school.

obloquy

O blo guy

I’m sure his show would be more popular if he was.

My Beef With Ann Coulter
Daily Beast ^ | Meghan McCain
Posted on Monday, March 09, 2009 11:41:50 AM by pissant

It is no secret that being a Republican isn’t the most hip political stance a person can take right now.

President Obama has successfully established himself as the hippest politician around. You know you’re big when Katy Perry wears a dress with your face on it to host the MTV Europe Music Awards.

To my fellow Republicans: I’m sorry, I wish I could be more positive about the current “hipness” of our party. But being a Republican is about as edgy as Donny Osmond. Granted, being “hip” is not a reason to join a political party, or a reason to agree with its ideals. But it is a way to get the attention of a generation—or, more specifically, my generation.

To make matters worse, certain individuals continue to perpetuate negative stereotypes about Republicans. Especially Republican women.

Who do I feel is the biggest culprit? Ann Coulter.

I straight up don’t understand this woman or her popularity. I find her offensive, radical, insulting, and confusing all at the same time... - Meghan McCain

the reason she doesn’t understand Ann is because....
SHE’S A LIBERAL FOR GOD’S SAKE

She admitted that she VOTED for sKerry in 2004.

How in the hell can she have any iota of conservatism in her plump little body if she can justify in her mind a vote for that loser?? - spacejunkie2001

I always find it amazing after all this time that people don’t “get” Ann Coulter, she baits dummies with dripping sarcasm and brutal truths, speaking with the bluntness of a truck driver and the rapier wit of a great comedian.

She has never offended my tender sensibilities ONCE, everything “controversial” she says is wrapped in double-entendre’s, sarcasm, and lays bare the hypocrisies of the left.

She’s playing chess and her detractors are playing checkers.

It’s like she’s dealing with spoiled, crying children who say don’t say “it” again, she looks at them and says the word “it” and they go running around like a chicken with it’s head cut off.

If she was a liberal writer/comedian she would be celebrated as one of the greatest thinkers in the country. - word_warrior_bob

-- snip --

Ann was on FoxNews about a week ago and dissed Megan for having claimed (on her blog) that being McCain’s daughter was messing up her social life.

Ann just said (paraphrase) “Hey, Megan - have you noticed the condition of the country and the economy? We’re not interested in how your father’s loss of the election screwed up your dating...”

Megan is just responding to Ann.

On the positive side - my wife (former liberal) now enjoys Ann Coulter (whom she previously reviled) - so opinions and loyalties do change and Ann does what she does without apology, and that is as it should be. - mdk1960
