American Lecture Idol

Paula: "Fabulous! So what if they didn't understand the concept of the postmodern rejection of absolute truth? You gave it your all, and that's what counts."

Randy: "Dawg, it was ai'ight, it was ai'ight. A little pitchy in the Richard Rorty section, which isn't the material I would have chosen for you. But you were you, man. You were definitely you."

Simon: "Frankly, I preferred Clay's presentation on gender ambiguity. Have you considered a career as a book editor?"
