Here are some tips for next time someone represents Vanderbilt University on a right-wing commentary show:

1. Close your mouth when you are not speaking.

2. Stop fiddling with your earpiece.

3. Try not to vocally sneer when you mention James Lawson; he did some pretty cool stuff.

4. Do not, under any circumstances, get completely decimated by Alan Colmes, who up until now was pretty much the worst debater on cable television.
