May 13, 2003 -- Jayson Blair's alma mater has purged remnants of the disgraced New York Times reporter from its halls and Web site.

Although Blair, 27, never graduated from the University of Maryland's journalism school, the now-exposed plagiarist attended it for several years and was editor of the college newspaper. And he was boasted about by the school and its professors.

Now if only Birmingham Southern College would stop bragging about Howell Raines.

Reminds us of the purges the communists would do when the truth leaked out about their failures. There would be massive purges.

The UofM is a left wing university. Their school of lies/halftruths/mantras and undisclosed sources/semi journalism knew about Blair. They were proud of him until the word got out!

Look people, can't we just move on?

After all, his heart was in the right place.

How many other college dropouts got a job at the New York Times? If only Maryland had finished with him, the story would have been so different...not.

Yes all of our whining will not feed an overweight homeless bum. The chilrun will continue to be dumbed down in public skooools. Our whining will fund abortions and mor Gay Rights.

We must move on for the homeless, the chilrun, those in need of their 12 abortion and for the not so Gay.
