Bush hater who thinks having an Ivy League education is "nothing to crow about" crows about his own right here.

Let's hope Martey held out his hands just so, before Rick handed him his ass:

Well, that's wonderful, Martey. Was it a walkover - could you have done it with one hand tied behind your back? Is it a completely valueless piece of paper? I hope not.

Or was the crack about a Yale undergraduate degree just a bit of Ivy League rivalry? I'd hate to think it was a knee-jerk crack at a president who rubs you the wrong way, contradicting everything you personally know about high-priced degrees.

I wish I had a Harvard degree, Martey. I'd settle for one from Yale. Alas, I'm one of those poor unpapered unfortunates who've had to get by without academic credentials. I do, on the other hand, have some respect for the work required to get one, which for some reason you seem happy to pretend you don't, personal experience notwithstanding.

UPDATE: Did I say Bush was stupid? I meant he was amoral, actually. Which is not, by the way, "intensely confrontational", just soze ya know. Geez, lighten up, dudes! (I'll just keep changing the subject 'til you leave me alone, ok? Owwww! That hurted!).

"I was just kidding": the last refuge of the loser.

(Martey must like the feel of his own butt because he keeps wanting us to hand it to him.)
