Let's see...what other gifts has Harvard given the nation? Henry Kissinger, Larry Summers, J Fucking K, Elbridge ("Gerrymander") Gerry, Rutherford P Hayes, Chief Injustice Roberts, Nino Scalia, Bill Nobodaddy Bennett, Alberto Gonzales, Robert McNamara, Bill Frist, John Sununu the Younger, and two guys named Obama and Romney.

He does lack Dick Armey's charm. Or Phil Gramm's.

Honestly, Chimpy seemed delightful compared to these creatures.
