Title: Ann Coulter On Cornell Hockey
Post by: TimV on March 10, 2009, 11:05:16 PM
Disses Keith Olbermann for an entire column.  Very funny. Here's the good part for Kyle, who otherwise better skip the whole thing:

QuoteGraduates 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.

Hey, Ann? Dartmouth got eliminated by RPI.  RPI!!

Anne Coulter vs Keith Olbermann (http://www.anncoulter.com/)

What does Dartmouth have to do with anything? Coulter went to Cornell also. Read the whole column and then follow the thread on JSID.

So the only Ivy School at Cornell is the A & S? Many of us went to CU expressly because it wasn't all Liberal Arts majors. I guess those of us who went to Engr. didn't get an Ivy education. Maybe she's a wannabee Harvard grad. Well too bad for her, she can be proud of the chicken; I can be proud to know a diverse group of students and be able to take a diverse group of courses.

I'm at least glad she knows something of our hockey tradition, even if she disses all the rest of us.::flipc::

I know it's been said before but I'd like to point out how ridiculous it is to say "Cornell education", much less "Ivy League education," as if there are uniform curricula and standards spanning the institutions.   I might as well tell people I got an "ECAC Hockey education" while at Cornell...even though, in a lot of ways, I did :-D.

You and I may not like what she says, but to imply that her opinions make her unworthy of a degree is IMO more of a sign that you didn't learn enough at Cornell.

I agree, although I don't think it would be unreasonable for Cornell to issue a statement rebuking her statement and affirming the value and equivalence of degrees from all seven undergraduate colleges.

But, I doubt it would happen, and, its probably just playing into her attention-getting anyway, so better to leave stupid enough alone.

Or for example, for my major, computer science, you get a B.S. from Engineering or a B.A. from A&S, despite the fact it's the same core courses (though real CS majors are in Engineering :P).

Post by: RichH on March 06, 2009, 04:15:05 PM
Well, judging from what certain people say, not only do I know that I live in the Fake America, but I also know that I went to a Fake Cornell.

I'm somewhat surprised that this hasn't been posted here yet:

Alumni Fight! (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/03/06/keith-olbermann-ann-coult_n_172438.html)

For people who just want the video in YouTube form (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5AtEbpnGB8)

Highlight: "Here is my receipt."  *clunk*

Edit: Reading Coulter's column (http://www.anncoulter.com/cgi-local/article.cgi?article=300) makes me wonder if this is the proper forum for this topic:

QuoteAmong 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.

Olbermann is wrong about an Aggie being able to take "just as many courses" in endowed colleges as an Artsie, though.  IIRC statutory college students can take no more that half of their courses in endowed colleges.  Got to get some benefit for that extra tuition.

But, wow, "only the Arts and Sciences College is Ivy League" is the sort of "SUNY Ithaca" crap you expect to hear from students at other Universities, not from a Cornellian.

Yeah, this is the part where I usually say something like "repeat after me: the Ivy League is an Athletic Conference."  IMO, anyone who really gives a crap about the "Ivy League" label as a prestige chip has at least a little bit of insecurity.

Actually, IvyGate (http://www.ivygateblog.com/2009/03/the-great-ivy-league-snob-off-part-ii-keith-olbermann-is-embarrassing-too/) and Gawker (http://gawker.com/5165501/keith-olbermann-now-just-andy-from-the-office) have some pretty good takes at this elitism pissing match.

Trying to make it sound like Ag is unrelated to Cornell, just happening to share a name, rather than a full fledged, equally valid school is ridiculous. I mean, its not like he's a hotelie (previous comments on that subject already read and concurred with).

I slept in class a lot my first semester.  This taught me a valuable lesson.  My bed is a lot more comfortable than a classroom.  So then I just stopped going to those classes.

Ann Coulter and Bill Maher are on tour this week - New York on Monday, Boston on Tuesday, Chicago on Wednesday.  By the time I got the notice about Chicago there weren't any tickets left through Ticketmaster.  Anybody else get to see them?  http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0309/19830.html

Anyone who manages to top that is going to hell.  I could try and make a joke from the Sun's perspective, but I don't believe in hell, so it'd be a waste of a perfectly good one-way ticket.

I thought people might find this reference to  Ann Coulter in the 7/26/09 "Get Fuzzy" comic (http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/comics/getfuzzy.html) amusing.

Hey, it has been a slow off-season. ;-)
