Larry Summers: Winklevoss twins 'a-holes'

THE 'A-HOLE' WINKLEVII: When asked about his portrayal in the film The Social Network (which you really should see if you haven't already), former Harvard University president Larry Summers called the Winklevoss twins, who have brought numerous legal cases against Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, 'a-holes'. Money quote:

Summers talked about the Winklevoss twins at Fortune’s Brainstorm Tech conference on Wednesday: "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.”

But do midday suits an undergraduate a--hole make? Not according to them. In an open letter to Harvard's current president via The Wall Street Journal, the Winklevii responded to Summers' fashion-turned-character criticism. "It is deeply disturbing that a professor of this university openly admits to making character judgments of students based on their appearance... Every student should feel free to bring issues forward [and] dress how they see fit... Ironically, our choice of attire that day was made out of respect and deference to the office of the president." 

Get over yourselves.
