A new low even for Ann Coulter - "Talk about weird ..." Coulter posted on X alongside a link to an article about Gov. Tim Walz's neurodivergent son, Gus, getting emotional during his father's Wednesday speech in Chicago.

From the NY Times - [The Walz family] learned when Gus was an adolescent that he had "a nonverbal learning disorder in addition to an anxiety disorder and A.D.H.D., conditions that millions of Americans also have." Nonverbal learning disorders affect a person's ability to process visual and social patterns.

Neurodivergence aside, it's cringe how the knuckledragger fetish of swaggering, violent, and emotionally constipated masculinity still lurks in the authoritarian sewers.  

What weak people think strength is.

Ann Coulter has an older sister, also Cornellian, who is absolutely normal, nice, and also intelligent.

There has always been a theory that Coulter is a cynical, nihilistic opportunist who found the Bottomless Knuck Trough and has been guzzling ever since, not believing a word of it.

Not that that makes her any less scummy.

She was one of the founders of the Cornell Review as an undergrad at the same time D'Souza was doing the same at Dartmouth, financed by the same people financing Charlie Kirk, et al. She's a true believer.

The Ivy League seems to be a breeding ground for any number of bottom-feeders.

Some would say "iconoclast."

[George64]

Some would say "iconoclast."

For your consideration - Leonard Leo '87, JD '89.

[Trotsky]

Some would say "iconoclast."

Some would say "grifter."

Just curious on everyone's thoughts. Doesn't need to be political. Every institution has someone that they wish wasn't associated with their Alma mater.

As much as I might like to say Ann Coulter, this guy has to be #1

Hey, if a felon/rapist can be elected president (twice!), then why should serial killing cause embarrassment?

Perhaps Ross deserves the crown for "biggest embarrassment" because he got caught, tried, actually sentenced, and ultimately executed.

One's our embarrassment, the other and his spawn are Penn's.

In the environmental situation, how about Thomas Midgley Jr.1911, inventor of both Freon and leaded gasoline.

That's my vote too. Holy crap, the dude was a "one-man ecological disaster".

To be fair, the rapist in question went to "Penn," much as folks who attend the Kennedy School of Government attend "Harvard."

None of this drip slime got into a tier 1 school on the merits.
