More Worthless Than A UT Law Degree

Jesse Taylor at Pandagon features a Glenn Reynolds post that is 10 times more stupid than the one featured below. And he dissects the hell out of it.

Here's the sum and substance -- or nub and nubbin -- of what passes for coherent thought in Tennessee higher education:

One comment that I made in passing earlier, and that seems more and more relevant as I think about it, is that the White House has a lot to gain by subpoenaing reporters who know about the Plame leaks. Doing that serves several useful purposes. First, once the press clams up and starts going on about protecting sources, it becomes extremely hard for it to claim that the White House is covering things up. "Who's stonewalling now?" can be the response.

Second, the press's complaints will look like special pleading (which they are). "If you leak this you're a traitor, but if we publish it, we're being great Americans," won't wash.

Jeez! And Jesse just annihilates Reynolds.

For Reynolds' sake, one can only hope that there was a severe carbon monoxide leak in his Cambridge hotel room, or that he was doing 'shrooms and angel dust with Dave Winer and Chris Lydon.

Also, I must apologize to the Cranes. Compared to this, you folks are Nobel prize winners.
