Ann Coulter On Cornell Hockey

jtwcornell91 · March 06, 2009, 04:18:16 PM

Holy shit, Ann Coulter is even more full of crap than I realized. ::wow::

ETA: she also misses the fact that Kurt Vonnegut never graduated from Cornell.

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.

What about engineering, are we still real? To go to real Cornell do you have to commit voting fraud, or is that just her?

RichH · March 06, 2009, 05:23:32 PM

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 and Gawker have some pretty good takes at this elitism pissing match.

As an engineer, we often made fun of the hotelies mainly out of jealousy because they were all out at the bars by Wednesday night and actually had more than 30% women. Who were the smart ones?

Not to mention that they'd end up with more lucrative careers on average than the rest of us...

Ms. Coulter, we have a name for people who say such retarded things about the SUNY schools: Colgate students.

DeltaOne81 · March 07, 2009, 03:53:03 PM

Wow.

I already thought that Ann Coulter is one of the lowest, poor-excuses-for-a-human-being, more like cow dung than actual intelligent life, things on the planet... but she still managed to shock me by dropping even lower.

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).

Can't someone go back and check her swim test result? Anything—anything—to dissociate her from our fair alma mater.

She probably passed. After all, she's a witch, and witches float.

I imagine it went down as a "no contest", as the lifeguards probably vomited and passed out after seeing those anorexic chicken legs in a bathing suit.

OK, that's an image I really didn't want. I think I'm going to look at some photos of the pink uniforms again, in order to get Ann out of my head.

From the Ag School's graduation requirements:

Maximum credits from endowed colleges: 55 endowed credits can be completed without incurring excess tuition charges. Endowed credits include all courses from departments in the College of Arts and Sciences, Architecture, Art, and Planning, Engineering, the Hotel School, the Johnson School of Graduate Management, and the Law School. Courses completed during the summer and winter sessions do not count against the 55 endowed credit limit.
