Harvard's embarrassments

The Daily Beast's Leslie Bennetts on Mitt Romney's "egregious" misrepresentation of women's job losses under the Obama administration: 

Harvard Business School should demand that he give back his M.B.A.

If I recall correctly, George W. Bush also purchased a degree at Harvard Business School, which, in combination with Romney's thoroughgoing indifference to basic honesty, leads me to assume, rather understandably, that ethics training is not part of Harvard's graduate program.

OMG, I just remembered that Mitt has a law degree, too. Again, from Harvard. So in Romney we have a handsomely coiffed pettifogger who knows how to legally swindle friend or foe and lawfully rig a one-sided deal.

Oh, wait. I forgot. That's his campaign platform, when he's just barely honest enough to let it slip.

Were I to hire someone from an American Ivy League college I would give not a moments consideration to anyone who did not attend on a full academic scholarship. The quality of their legacies and those students whose parent's name recognition earned them their place has been falling for decades. A simple spelling bee proved that.

I must mention that it was a putative interview for the Harvard Business Review that launched the affair of Jack Welch and Suzy Wetlaufer, who was editor-in-chief -- until Jack's wife found out and blew their cover.

Here in Chez Beauzeaux, we use "being interviewed by the Harvard Business Review" interchangeably with "hiking the Appalachian Trail."
