Shut up and go back to work, don't you know these programs are underfunded and need more "revenues"?

Belay my last - dug a little further and found Wade's e-mail address on Fordham's site. Really do not know why it got under my skin this morning but I sent him the following and will post a reply - if I get one;-)

Dr. Wade,

I am curious, as I have stumbled upon several web pages that quote you as saying "shut the f***, bitch" to a scheduled speaker at a government sponsored event.

Could you please confirm or deny this?

The referenced speaker was Christina Hoff Sommers, a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute and the event was the conference on "Boy Talk" (a program sponsored by the Center for Substance Abuse and Prevention (CSAP) of the Department of Health and Human Services).

Thank you in advance for your most timely reply,
