Which I guess makes Ann Coulter... Angela? See, here he is pointing to his Cornell Diploma in order to settle some ridiculous argument. So this is what he'll do without George Bush to kick around!

On American TV's The Office, the writers all decided Ed Helm's fratty douchebag character Andy is a Cornell grad, making it officially The Funniest Ivy League School to Brag About Having Graduated From (sorry, Brown—you had your moment). And so here is Keith in a goofy, shrill argument with a goofy, shrill comedienne about how she went to the real Cornell and he went to the Cornell with, uh, farmers or something?

Here's Ann:

Keith didn't go to the Ivy League Cornell; he went to the Old MacDonald Cornell. ... Keith went to an affiliated state college at Cornell, the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (average SAT: about that of pulling guards at the University of South Carolina; acceptance rate: 1 of every 1 applicants).

And here's Keith's amazing response:

So... there you are. Then Keith sang "Lovefool."

Meanwhile, Rhodes Scholar Rachel Maddow did an hour of news and analysis and opinion and interviews on current events, politics, and foreign affairs.

Wow. Cornell has a degree program in Blowhard Studies?

@Ohcaptainmycaptain: and a PhD independent study, from the sound of this.

I smell the beginning of the end for this clown. Hopefully, he will regrow his mustache and go back to calling Todd Zeile highlights.

@SnarkTwain: Yeah, and returning to Fox Sports to call them.

@rpm773: THAT would be ideal. Actually, seeing Rachel out-man him and take the #1 slot on MissNBC would take the cake.

@Ohcaptainmycaptain: Yes, and my Uncle Jack was one of the first recipients of that particular degree.

Wait, people actually frame their diplomas? I thought that was just something doctors did so you can make sure they actually graduated from med school and aren't just trying to harvest your organs. Mine's still in the cardboard envelope in which it was mailed to me, at the bottom of my closet under the laundry bin.

@PrettyNotPretty: I applied to Harvard just to frame the rejection letter. It still cracks me up.

@CaptainFantastic: On the certificate, it states that I majored in lap dances, with a minor in pole dancing.

So much better than my real diploma, which does not even specify the college within the university I attended. And frankly, in this 5th month of my unemployment, it will probably get me a job quicker.

His Janet Reno-style impression of Ann Coulter's voice is even more irritating than his regular one. Also, can anyone else hearing creepy organ music in the background, or I'm I just losing my mind?

@the rzo: Rather, "is anyone else hearing creepy organ music in the background, or am I just losing my mind?" I've obviously already lost my proofreading skills.

@the rzo: He played it on purpose. It's part of his 'Worst Person In The World' segment, and they play that creepy vampire music. So no, you're not losing your mind.
