This guy Sahner is a complete joke. How on earth did this kid even win a Rhodes Scholarship a few years ago? Look at what he "accomplished" as a Princeton undergraduate: He basically looked at art history slides for four years and started a little campus chastity club to hold group therapy sessions because Sahner was upset with a 30-minute freshman orientation skit. Oh, and he wrote a couple Daily Princetonian op-eds bashing this orientation skit and a campus fashion show. HUH?! And this was grounds for awarding him a prestigious Rhodes Scholarship to study at Oxford? Are you kidding me? Mind you, it takes all of a few hours to cobble together an email to Princeton administrators to announce the formation of a little campus club. Compared to other undergraduate campus commitments that actually involve considerable time, effort, dedication, etc., Sahner's "accomplishments" are small peanuts, to put it mildly.

Wow. If guys like Sahner represent the "best" that the United States can send to Oxford, then Brazil, Russia, India, and China (and probably a whole host of other countries) will almost certainly be eating our lunch in the 21st Century. I think Sahner should work for Mike Huckabee on Fox News. They'd probably hit it off splendidly...
