I guess this is yet another day to post Sen Tom Cotton's last undergraduate column for the Harvard Crimson, in which he opines on the reason people seem to really not like him.

First, how does he have any friends? Second, how did this pompous ass get elected to anything?

Stopped reading at "Far form it." Also, Tom Cotton isn't 90? Wow, you really do learn something new every day.

"I have devoted my time at Harvard to cultivating contrarianism." So he's deliberately an asshole. Nice to see that things don't change over time.

So I know plagiarism only counts if a person of color does it, but how much of this is straight-up God & Man At Yale with the campus name changed?

So many assumptions not in evidence in that piece (which I had not had the pleasure of encountering before).

Fascinating that someone could write something so stratospherically pompous yet rail against the "elites"

I love the showoffy and awkward "forbore to print" in the opening paragraph followed two sentences later by an obvious typo (form/from).
