Testing Obama’s Nerd Cred

, ,

John Hodgman’s address at the Radio & TV Correspondent’s dinner in DC is a pretty good listen filled with nerd references including this one on the topic of nerds versus jocks:

You know where I stand on this great divide, I’m a big fat geek. And there are those of you who’ll say, “Wait a minute didn’t he earlier say he’s a nerd? There’s a difference between geeks and nerds, of course.” To you people I say: shut up nerds. This is not the time for bickering. This is a historic moment because seated to my right, right now is the person some people say is the first nerd president of the modern era.

IMHO, not quite as awesome, but much more friendly than Stephen Colbert’s performance a couple years back.
