Unbesmirched
Via Luboš Motl, I learn that Bill O’Reilly says he’s a Harvard alumnus
Take it from this Harvard alum. We’re not exactly talking the Mardi Gras up there in Cambridge. However, I did have some fun at Harvard, mostly at other people’s expense, which, of course, may have been ridiculous.
The thought that such a first-class nitwit might have graduated from my beloved alma mater was somewhat … unsettling.
Fortunately, alumnæ of Harvard College can breath a sigh of relief. None of the “William O’Reilly”s in the Harvard Alumni Directory graduated from Harvard College. There is, however, a certain “William J. O’Reilly” of Manhasset NY, who spent the 1995/96 academic year obtaining a Masters of Public Administration from the Kennedy School of Government.
KSG graduates will have to live with the ignominy.

Come on, Jacques, you must be really blinded by some radical political emotions if you don’t see that Bill O’Reilly is one of the brightest journalists focusing on politics. In some sense, he’s a genius. He’s a fast thinker, he can work with a lot of data, but he can always pick the eseential points - and points from both sides.
I apologize but none of the far left bloggers I know of can’t compare with him in understanding of politics.
Yes, he has a Master degree from KSG.
