LOS ANGELES (TheWrap) - Apparently, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss really did double the displeasure for Larry Summers. The former Harvard president reaffirmed the perception created by the 2010 film "The Social Network" during an interview at Fortune's Brainstorm Tech conference, characterizing the button-down siblings as a pair of "a**holes." "Rarely, have I encountered such swagger, and I tried to respond in kind," Summers recalled. "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 a**hole. This was the latter case."
Watch out Larry Summers, I hear they're quite litigious...
I like this Larry Summers guy, I think with that sense of snarky wit he'd fit in perfectly here, probably provide some sound business guidance, considering his breadth of real world experience and our current leadership's (myself) absolute dearth. Plus I figure he'd be good for a blog or two once in a while.
I mean look at that comment, he summed up everything we all think of the Winklevii's in one eloquent, yet straight to the point sentence. And he's 100% right, on a college campus there is just no need to be marching around in a blazer and tie combo...it's college for godsakes. Kids getting laid wearing cargo shorts and ironic t-shirts, no need to class it up, college girls literally could care less, buy them a cocktail or two and it's like they've found their soulmate.
So Larry, in closing, if times ever get tough for you out there, just know that our door is always open. I'm thinking something along the lines of Senior Editor, but I'm sure we could work out an ombudsman title for someone of your stature.
