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.

“Relax, Keith. Now you can let people like you for you.”

[shakes head at the understated but nonetheless devastating brutality of that line]

Brava. Well done.

See, Keith, this is your life now. This is what you left ESPN, Bristol and one of the sweetest sportscasting gigs for. Now would you squat and push? Ann needs her Louboutin back.

[Stosh]

If one is already a total a-hole like Oberdork, is it still possible to have one ripped another?

[Syncro]

Good for you, you are a great independent thinker like most here at Free Republic.

If you couldn't determine that I was PRAISING her...

I got that part.

I was just responding to your post with a similar tone.

No offence intended.

[usshadley]

OMG!! The embarrassment....eichs!!! he’s always known that one day this would happen...and for Coulter to deliver the blow....WHOOOHAHA!!!

[RonDog]

Kudos for sticking up for Rush.

You’re a good friend.

RWN: Keith Olbermann
Ann: World's only 57-year-old woman trapped in a man's body to host his own TV show.

That's funny, I never saw that before now.

When I first saw Rachael Mad Dow on MSNBC, I commented that I thought she was Olberman in drag.

Olberman leans towards dykeness, and Maddow leans towards the same thing.

I think they are exactly the same gender, neither male or female.

[Syncro]

That was horrible and mean and gross.

Thanks!

LOL

Olbermann brings out the best in Conservatives.

[muglywump]

Sorry to hear that, KH. I hope she recovers quickly.

[kellynla]

I don’t know why AC even bothers to acknowledge the former ESPN sports reader much less dignify his presence by writing a column about him...between Olbermann & Chrissy Matthews they have about as much credibility as a screen door on a submarine. And if folks, including FReepers, would quit posting threads about “Dumb & Dumber”, NBC might just drop both of these clowns and replace them with another paid program...who would notice they were still on MSNBC if we didn’t see threads & articles written about them...who the heck watches these clowns except for the Lefties.

God I love to read some of her stuff and watch her go on the shows. She's like a blade of steel put in a hot fire and made stronger.

That's why libs just fold... they're never used to being called out, while conservatives have always faced the tough questions and crowds.

She is great on the morning show clips I see on Youtube.... just devastating.

I think she'd be a hoot to have a couple of cold ones and yak about current events.

[jla]

Yes, I read that. Very good.
You know, if she wasn't a lady I'd state that I'd like to see Ann arm wrestle Keith O. (I bet he'd have a fistful of sand in his other hand ready to throw in Ann's eyes LOL)

And that picture! It's beautiful, truly beautiful. She has been looking more resplendent than usual lately.

Counting Down With Keith Olbermann '79

"..Keith Olbermann '79 is currently the host of Countdown With Keith Olbermann, which airs on weekdays at 8:00 p.m. on MSNBC. Olbermann was a communications arts major (as it was called at the time) in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.."

CALS Academic Programs

The College of Arts & Sciences

The PDF file below shows that the Arts & Sciences require SAT or ACT tests but a test is only recommended at Agriculture and Life Sciences indicating the Arts and Science school is the harder one to get into. This is the current requirement. I don't know for the 1970s when Olbermann was there but there is no reason to think it would be different then.

I find conflicting statements here.

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

From Wiki:

"Cornell University's architecture department is one of the world's most highly regarded and prestigious schools of architecture and is the only department in the Ivy League to offer the Bachelors of Architecture

It seems that he may have went to an Ivy League school. It depends upon which school he went to.

[VR-21]

If Elanor Clift got herself shot full of female hormones, she could be Kieth Olbermann.

[Syncro]

The college that Olbermann went to is a statutory college or contract college.

The statutory college is operated by the university on behalf of the state and receives government funding.

In other words, the K-boy went to a gubmint school.

Poison Ivy League?

[chris_bdba]

I’m not so sure he can even read the instructions on it! ;)

Obermann is showing the typical pack mentality of the MSM. These have been reduced to dogs. Their dog bowls are getting emptier and emptier as more people unplug from their senseless pap. So what are they doing? Instead of smelling the stink coming from the Obama Administration, they are thinking red meat of Rush Limbaugh will make an easy treat. When are these moron going to get it? This controversy is over. It is done. They ignore that there is widespread agreement that Obama’s solution to the economy is the wrong one. They ignore that Rush is correct. The Obama solution needs to be defeated. And because they continue to make the same mistake as lackeys to the Left, they will fail too.

They have lost this argument, and more will see the likes of Obermann as a little yipper thinking his yap is hot stuff. The American people will see that they are all little flea-ridden muts who will piss on our time honored traditions of the free market, the family, freedom and liberty. They are failing us and as they do they will fail themselves. When they act like dogs, they will live like dogs and they will be treated like dogs.

Excellent, Ann nail him!
