They forced out that poor black Gay woman…

[Copper]

They should pick someone who doesn't have a gender.

And maybe handicapped.

And morbidly obese.

[Copper]

She'll get a nice package, it will probably include plenty of cnn air time.

[Rainman]

Could someone help me find the post where I bet a quarter that she'd be gone within a month?

[George K]

Of course...

"Amidst all of this, it has been distressing to have doubt cast on my commitments to confronting hate and to upholding scholarly rigor — two bedrock values that are fundamental to who I am — and frightening to be subjected to personal attacks and threats fueled by racial animus."

I wonder how much truth there is to Obama stepping up to support her, and I wonder how much clout he has.

[jon-nyc]

And Stefanik for getting the ball rolling in the first place.

By the way, the Harvard Corporation statement at least mentions her transgressions. Not with specifics but it at least mentions that there were some.

[George K]

And though she has resigned as president, she still keeps her job at Harvard as a (cough) "scholar."

The salary is about $900K, which is more than I made in 7 months.

And the Associated (with Democrats) Press finds conservatives pouncing. Or is is seizing?

I thought that was from the Bee when I read it.

But no!

It is real AP.
