Neo-Con pundit William Kristol was creamed with a Pie last night
while speaking at Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana.
William Kristol, founder of the Project for a New American Century (a
leading neo-con think tank) and a key figure in American foreign
policy for over 20 years, was hit by what appeared to be a cream pie
tonight in Richmond, Indiana. Throughout his speech, given at Earlham
College, he defended the "Bush doctrine" of pre-emptive war and state
terror and was in the process of comparing current policy challenges
to those of the early Cold War when a young man calmly lifted himself
onto the stage and
quickly walked to the podium, splattering a delicious dish all over
the speaker as well as the college's president (collateral damage,
perhaps?).
Unfortunately, after a period of shock, many people in the audience
stood and clapped to show support for Kristol (for a total of three
standing ovations), including many self-professed peace activists and
liberals who were afraid that this succulently sweet action would
discredit Earlham College. They apparently forgot, perhaps due to his
liability as a speaker, of Kristol's central role in the Reagan and
Bush I administrations, his long efforts as a Harvard-trained
political scientist to provide the intellectual justification for the
Bush agenda of foreign intervention, and his current place as an
architect of a war in Iraq which has claimed tens of thousands of
innocent lives.
There has been an escalating hysteria among some sectors of Earlham
College, which is supposedly dedicated to pacifist and Quaker values,
demanding a range of responses from expulsion (if the confectionary
offender proves to be a student) to the pressing of criminal charges
against the as-yet-unidentified revolutionary baker. We will post
more updates in the next days. Please be ready to support this bold
pie-slinger.

"Beauty treatment"
The Washington Times, March 7, 2005 Monday
Vogue editor Anna Wintour got a face full of dessert Saturday at the
Paris fashion shows, when an animal-rights protester hit her with a
tofu pie.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which is at odds with
Miss Wintour's support for the fur industry, claimed responsibility
for the incident.
Miss Wintour was not hurt by the attack and reportedly joked that
tofu may be good for the skin.
Vogue magazine declined to comment.
