Larry Summers, the former Harvard University president, isn't hiding his disdain for the Winklevoss twins -- the notorious pair who started their feud with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg while the three were students at the school under Summers.

"One of the things you learn as a college president is that if an undergraduate is wearing a tie and jacket on Thursday afternoon at three o'clock, there are two possibilities. One is that they're looking for a job and have an interview; the other is that they're an asshole. This was the latter case, Summers said at the conference. "Rarely, have I encountered such unfounded swagger, and I tried to respond in kind.

Wow if your former college professor calls you an asshole you've really should be looked at by a shrink, perhaps bordeline or some other socipoathic disorder.
Those are generally the most liking people out there, I can't imagine how the average person would react.

Regardless of whether the description fits the bill, Larry Summers sounds a bit like an unprofessional asshole as well. He was in charge of Rich Spoiled Brats Uni, of course there's a lot of assholes in those corridors. The smell of manure alone probably entitles them to some kind of farm subsidy. Is he keeping track of all of the asswipes there, or only the ones that can put him on telly?

Nah, being spoiled or having prestige doesn't make you an asshole on it's own, if so the world would be far worse off than it is.
But I'm not that of a pessimist.
