"I'VE SEEN BOB GET 60, 70, 80 MEDIA CALLS IN ONE DAY!!!!!" says the man who hired him at Syracuse, David Rubin, dean of the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. "I'VE SEEN HIM IN A HALLWAY ON HIS CELL PHONE FOR HOURS. YOU COULD GO SO FAR AS TO SAY BOB IS THE MOST QUOTED ACADEMIC IN THE UNITED STATES!!!!!!!!!!"
So often has Thompson been quoted, over 17 years at Syracuse, that some news organizations (including The Associated Press) have lately tried consciously NOT to quote him. [Enthusiastic pop-culture-is-king overemphasis added] But then their colleagues make up the slack by quoting his inane sound bytes even MORE. We'll NEVER be rid of this preening lout.
