13. His run of "failing upwards" is over

Summers is a key architect of the banking deregulation in the late 90’s. He is a women-hating misogynist and an economic policy fool. I was so pissed when Obama appointed him Treasury Sec. and was a key advisor during his campaign. Fool us once, shame on us.

When the Winklevoss Brothers issued a complaint at Harvard that Zuckerberg stole their idea, it was Summers that shut it down. (Rewatch The Social Network movie for the scene.)

Jon Stewart put that idiot creep in his place during his Apple TV show and Summers couldn’t argue his way out of a paper bag to defend his policy advocacy. Seeing the poorly written communications only confirm what the man lacks in intelligence is made up in arrogance.

It’s time we quit insulating old man incompetence just because they are in “the club”. Now that we also know what the extracurricular activities of certain club members entailed.
