Now I Really Hate Ann Coulter

If she bashes liberals, or Democrats, or minorities, I can just tune it out. But in her most recent column she touches (gasp) Cornell Hockey!

Background: If you've missed it, distinguished Cornell alumni Ann Coulter '84 and Keith Olbermann '79 have been feuding about the validity of their Cornell degrees. Coulter claims that Olbermann, by virtue of having graduated from the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, did not attend an Ivy League school. Coulter, as will I, received her diploma from the College of Arts and Sciences.

MetaEzra has more on Coulter's assertions and Olbermann's on-air response.

Here's where the hockey comes in, from her column entitled "Olbermann's Plastic Ivy":

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.

What a bitch. Let's go red!
