Ummm.... these are the funniest three paragraphs I've ever read in a CHE article:

As Mr. Stuef paints him, Georgetown's president is aloof and always jetting off to raise money for the institution. "He doesn't really seem connected to what's going on," the impersonator said of the real Mr. DeGioia. "He's always really slow to realize when there's a major controversy going on."

So a typical message by "Q: What's the deal with airplane food? A: I don't know, let's establish a working group to find out. OK, I'll put the laptop away."

Mr. DeGioia is in Rome on university business this week and could not be reached for comment.
