Kristol hit by pie-wielding assailant
The Indianapolis Star

Posted on 03/30/2005 12:08:05 PM PST by henkster

Reported in the Indianapolis Star, William Kristol was invited to speak at Earlham College. During his presentation, some clown of a student ran on the stage and gave him an ice cream pie in the face.

The good news is that it appears that the student will be disciplined.

As the article notes, Earlham has a renowned school for "peace studies." It is a Quaker institution.

Per the rules, and the Star's fear that someone will make a copyright infringement. However, it is at the Indy Star's web site.

I saw Ann Coulter at a lecture at KU last night, and I'm glad this didn't happen to her... AGAIN!
I hope Kristol wasn't injured.

A Clown of a student? What about a student guilty of assault?

Oh those wacky Liberals. I bet the young gentleman is also a fierce advocate of the First Amendment right to Free Speech.

I don't know, a pie in the face might be a great opener for Kristol, especially if he takes it in stride and laughs it off. And what great publicity too.

Intelligent people try to convince through debate; clowns throw pies. The Left is intellectually dead.

I don't know about you, but I think congress should outlaw pies.

Yep, same guy.

He was identified in the story as a "conservative pundit." Whatever that's supposed to imply.

When one is out of arguments, and totally impervious to reason, I guess pie-throwing is as benign a recourse as any.

Or put a ban on importing them, and a limit on how much ice cream they can hold. Plus, have a 48 hour "cooling off" period for the pie; maybe in a nice kitchen window.

Careful there! I have a constitutional right to coconut cream!

Disciplined? He should have had his ass kicked by burly guards.
