Assholes Comfirmation

One of the scenes from The Social Network I immediately rolled my eyes at was when Larry Summers blew off the Winklevoss twins in his office; I figured that a visitor to the president of Harvard's office would be met with the utmost respct, if only because the president would recognize them as being worthy of being inside his office.  So I dismissed the scene as highly implausible.

Turns out I was, as The Fonz would say, wrr...I was wrr..I'm trying to say, I was wrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...:
One of the things you learn as a college president is that if an undergraduate is wearing a tie and jacket on Thursday afternoon at three o'clock, there are two possibilities. One is that they're looking for a job and have an interview; the other is that they are an a**hole. This was the latter case."

As insufferable as the Winklevosses come across, Summers turns out to be the bigger asshole. Also, is there one likeable character in that movie?
