Video: Larry Summers has the Winklevoss Twins’ number

One of the things you learn as a college president is that if an undergraduate is wearing a tie and jacket on Thursday afternoon at three o’clock, there are two possibilities. One is that they’re looking for a job and have an interview; the other is that they are an asshole. This was the latter case.

Larry Summers on Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss

I like how Summers’ prefaces it, noting his own notoriety for having a lot of swagger and then saying “Rarely, have I encountered such swagger, and I tried to respond in kind.”

Pretty funny.

    “One of the things you learn as a citizen is that if a former presidential economic adviser who was instrumental in deregulating financial and shadow banking, overturning Glass-Steagall, blowing up the Harvard endowment, allowing Citibank merger (making TBTF even bigger) is wearing a jacket on Wednesday afternoon at three o’clock, there are two possibilities. One is that he is looking for a job and has an interview; the other is that he is an asshole.”

    Is there anything in the link that is essentially wrong?
    To me, when I hear how brilliant Larry Summers is, I remember that they used to call Allan Greenspan “Maestro”
