   You know, it’s a rare moment when I feel any sympathy for the Clintons.

   And this is one of those moments.

   Over this silly stunt? Sympathy is for suffering and loss….Clinton lost nothing over this idiot. I bet Bill invited him there and took him to lunch afterward; heck, maybe even introduced him to one of girlfriends!

   A man dressed in a silver metallic suit, a matching helmet and dark glasses heckled Bill Clinton Monday at his last campaign stop.

   Another member of the tin-foil hat brigade reveals himself to the public.

   From his bio page:

   Part II: The Indexical Bio

   Kembrew is a cultural critic, teacher, student, record fetishist, sometimes-DJ, vanity publisher, provocateur, child, artist, spazz dancer, zinester, dreamer, misfit, lover (of music) and not a fighter, and much much more.

   Part III: The Free(style) Association Bio

   Who’da thunk that I would become a university professor after I failed my senior year of high school? Thanks to some inspiring teachers along the way, I decided to give the profession a try because it appeared to allow me the most freedom of any career option.

   After graduating from, essentially, twenty-second grade and getting my Ph.D in Communication at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst (shout out to Western Mass!), I joined the faculty in the Department of Communication Studies at the University of Iowa.

   To use a Grateful Dead-invoking cliche (yecchhh), it’s been a long strange trip, one that includes deconstruction, dancing (doing the bunny hop while old school hip-hop legend Afrika Bambaataa spun records for an audience that included only ten people, five of us professors … that was awesome), and, memorably, a fellow grad student catching on fire (true story).

   After seven years in Iowa City chasing the children of the corn through the field of dreams — and after getting tenure, you punks! — I still solemnly swear to put the “ass” back in associate professor (just as I put the “ass” in assistant professor for six years).

   Lastly, as always, I reserve the right to rock. To poorly paraphrase Alice Cooper, school’s in session 4-eva!

   “…put the “ass” back in associate professor …”

   Um…mission accomplished.

   How deep is the derangement of these loons?

   He is complaining about an incident that happened in 1992 by candidate Clinton…

   and yet he still manages to get a gratuitous shot in at… wait for it…

   KARL ROVE

   in the first sentence of his ridiculous screed.

   Tenure indeed.

    From the awards section of his CV:

    Rosa Luxemburg Award for Social Consciousness. Awarded at the
    2002 New England Film and Video Festival for Money for
    Nothing: Behind the Business of Pop Music

    Looks like we’re dealing with a real intellectual heavyweight here.

    Of course, it was a Halloween costume. And I didn’t accost Bill Clinton in it.

    A University of Iowa professor dressed as a robot interrupted Bill Clinton at a campaign stop here late Monday, screaming for an apology before security escorted him from the building.

    The professor, Kembrew McLeod, stood on a chair and screamed several statements, including: “Robots of the world want you to apologize.”

    The audience erupted into loud boos.

    The audience probably confused him with Algore.

    Is there anyway we can see what he looks like? I was clicking on the links in the story but couldn’t find a photo, you would think someone who went to this effort to promote himself, would have a bio page, and his roboto costume front and center. I love America, in other less developed countries, Natural Selection weeds out the Robots.

    A new series for the Discovery Channel:

    NOW vs Peta
    Code Pink vs Nancy Pelosi
    MoveOn vs the Democratic Party that they purchased
    Mr Robot vs Slick Willie

    Writer’s strike? Who cares? Could they ever make up stories like this?

    If I was this loon, my defense would be that Hillary’s laugh is akin to a robotic aphrodisiac, and that just one screeching cackle is capable of attracting robots in heat from all surrounding counties.

    Either that, or I would claim that it isn’t my fault, AlGore invented me.

    Yes, jrl, there is university-level homeschool. It’s still not as common as the elementary/highschool variety, but many people are using extension courses and Internet learning to lower the costs of a university education.

    On the other hand, many home-schooled graduates are fully capable of putting bozos like this in their place when they attend a university. A sound education and experience talking to adults comes in handy when confronting self-important, self-declared authoritarian loons.
