Dems in Disarray

— New York Times Pitchbot (@DougJBalloon) December 23, 2023

Democrats need to stop talking about things voters don't understand, like unemployment figures and the consumer price index, and start talking about things regular voters care about, like Claudine Gay's dissertation and the Harvard Undergraduate Nepali Student Association.

I have a serious question no one has asked: Can Harvard now expel anyone/deny an advanced degree to anyone for plagiarism? Or will it pretend that Gay did not plagiarize and thus can go on as usual? Isn't the get-out-of-jail-free card just saying you used "duplicative language"? https://t.co/kSwBo18HmD

(That tweet pronoted at least 40 retweets (“duplicative language.” Get it?) that at least 40 people thought was wildly clever.

But did Dershowitz keep his underpants on while he wrote the piece? https://t.co/RAcnLQSuxv

In this Indiana diner, everyone has three questions: How's the breaded tenderloin? Is the quarry hiring? Did Harvard president Claudine Gay properly attribute Prof. George Reid Andrews in her 1992 paper “Black Political Protest in São Paulo, 1888-1988”?

I will confess, I'm not able to understand how people can be interested in all the Harvard president drama.

(Moi aussi. And people talk about liberal self-loathing.)
