"I'm ready for my closeup, Mr. DeMille."
New York Times writer, Corey Kilgannon, chose Occupy Wall Street protester, Edward T. Hall III, as a representative of the OWS protests in an article about an arranged discussion between Hall and Wall Street worker Jimmy Vivona. Although the very thin patina of rationality presented by Hall might have fooled some liberals such as Brian Williams who want to desperately believe in the validity of the OWS protests, almost any normal observer wouldn't have been the least bit fooled by Hall's act. However, should any doubt remain about Hall's mental state, check out this video (below the fold) of Hall revealing his true self at the OWS protests. A word of warning: Not only is the language quite strong but Hall's off the chart Drama Queen antics are so burst out laughing funny from the get-go that you risk covering your monitor with coffee so please put your mug down while watching. A fringe benefit is a brief followup act by a female protester who attempts to match Mr. Hall in the Drama Queen department:

Dude’s getting a piece of that thing tonight.
Awesome article also PJ.
Thanks for the heads up re: coffee. My keyboard would have been a disaster area without your kind warning.
The lunatics want to take over the asylum.
Somewhere a psychiatrist is missing a patient.
Somewhere a village is missing an idiot...
Future cars are not going to get better mileage if this loser designs them. I bet he’s never changed the oil in a car; much less a tire. He couldn’t screw in a lightbulb without assistance. Pathetic!
Maybe Obama Motors should hire this nutcase as their chief engineer.
Now that’s funny I don’t care who you are . . . what a maroon!
Thanx for discovering that video. I knew there was a story there as soon as I found the NYT story about the Trust Fund Kid.
"Why can't they just leave Brian Williams alone?"
One, Edward T. Hall III, 25, was barefoot and dressed in loud, multicolored tights. He wore a beaded American Indian necklace and New Age jewelry, with a baseball cap pulled sideways over his long hair. . . .
Mr. Hall is a well-educated young man with a privileged upbringing who said he was following a calling greater than getting a job and making money. He said he saw the protest as a global movement to help fight poverty and economic inequality. He has spent the past month sleeping in the park and is one of the organizers of the protest. . . .
Mr. Hall — who, when told the meeting would be indoors, ended up covering his bare feet with a pair of women’s rubber boots — went for a cappuccino.
The two men made cordial small talk at first. Mr. Hall said he played squash. . . .
Mr. Hall said that he grew up in New Mexico and that both his parents were politically active lawyers who were thrilled that he was pursuing a socially conscious life and was involved in the Occupy Wall Street protest. Mr. Hall said he attended Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh and then transferred to Bard College in upstate New York because of its reputation as a socially conscious school.
He had been renting in Washington Heights for the past two years while attending doctoral classes at Columbia University as a nonmatriculated student. He said that he supported his modest lifestyle with savings from working as a teenager and that he also had “a small trust fund” from his grandfather that he had not drawn from yet. For the past four weeks, he has eaten free meals and has slept in the park. . . .
Mr. Hall kicked off the boots and cheerfully walked barefoot back to the park to continue strategizing.
he's declaring those as gifts on his tax return, right? (snicker)
I wonder how much anger toward the right there is in that household?
Someone needs to photoshop a clothesline pin on the reporters nose !
Wow, he has some really nice teeth.
He is keeping a dope dealer in business.
That kid is on something.
He is up one minute and down the next.
Its a roller coaster drug he is on.
Just Say NO!
