Following up the spectacle of ag school alum Keith Olbermann's hilariously pathetic defense of his Cornell education, I'm surprised no one has mashed this together --- Cuffy delivers!
(h/t: Ace for the Olbermann Watch Red Eye videos)
UPDATE: Welcome, Surber readers (thanks, Don).
So he said he had a Communications degree from Cornell University and it turns out he has a Communications degree from Cornell University? WOW!!!!! That's not even worth mentioning!

Lost in this cleverness is the ever acerbic Ann Coulter's ad hominem attacks for the sake of attacks. I'm no fan of Olbermann but, frankly, the "entertainment" coming in the form of political satire/wisdom out of Ann Coulter is what will insure her wing of the..........what?...........conservative party(?) will be marginalized for some time to come.

Lost in all this is that it's harder SAT-wise to get into the liberal arts school at Cornell than the Ag school, heck it's even harder to get into the Hospitality management school.
If the Ag school is so great, why doesn't Olbermann ever mention it? Notice in his response to Coulter, he fails to mention the rigorous scholastics he managed to achieve at the ag school:
From his Playboy interview:
"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.”

Chip:
Yet you probably like the "satire" of Letterman, Colbert, and Stewart, right?

Coulter adds ZERO to the national debate.........she's just a stone thrower. Or, perhaps, you can point me to one solution or one compromise she's attempted? If you guys haven't noticed, on any given topic, political problem, or candidate, the country usually splits by little more than 55%-45%. So alienating roughly half of America rarely leads to a meaningful solution. By the way, I think Olbermann is simply a lower-profiled version on the other end of the political spectrum. You guys think they say something important. They're both simply self promoters who strive for.............and achieve.........the outrageous.

Olbermann has one main purpose and that is to correct all of the falsehoods put out by Fox and the well paid right wing hit men. He does a great job and their whiny retorts don't really bother him. Fox's lies and distortions and promotion of Repubs and conserv has created the need for Olbermann and Maddow and other persons who actually investigate stories and report what they actually find out.
