He must have taken into account peoples reactions from his piece. I dont think the man really cared. I really do think the man is trying to make create noise..noise usually translates to more sales of his upcoming book. And i do think the man intends to stay in the public limelight for quite the while. Being fox news...helps the effort.</p> Shashi Tharoor is an extremely intelligent man.

Everyone who's ever loved a sports team or a country team has engaged in a little "we're the best, you suck." For example, this very funny piece on Duke says it all ;)</p> <p>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYOgC2Qbqh4</p> I think there’s an element of tongue-in-cheek to Mr. Tharoor’s piece (he was a very funny guest on Colbert Report, so he’s well versed in ironic humor) and rightfully placed sports-ism.
