I can assure you that if Gates had invited the officer in, offered him a cup of coffee, and clamly explained what an idiot he was for forgetting his keys, then offered to thank the neighbor who called in the call, this would not have made the news. On the other hand, when you are a distinguished professor of racial hatred in a lib institution, this is an irresistible opportunity to show the folks that YOU are the BIG MAN here...
