NEW PALTZ, N.Y. (AP) --

Young felt this incident "was being blown up by Ms. Hayut for whatever reason," Kelly said.

If the facts are as she claimed, Ms. Hayut should have slapped the professor's face. What a creepy way to talk to a woman.

Rush just read this story almost word-for-word.

Interesting ... and hat's off to the Mahah Rushie!

[dighton]

What was Rush's take, and did he give additional info?

If the facts are as she claimed, Ms. Hayut should have slapped the professor's face. What a creepy way to talk to a woman.

The facts appear to be that during the impeachment this 'woman' was a clinton supporter. Which makes her no better than monica lewinsky. I bet she even lusted after her own presidential knee-pads.

The prof did good. No clinton supporter (or democrat for that matter) should ever be given any respect. They should always have scorn heaped upon them.

My standard reply to anyone who outs themselves as a democrat is "How can you sleep at night?"

God Save America (Please)

The prof did good.

Sorry, it's unprofessional. I'd put this in the same category as a leftist prof asking a Republican student: Putting on your white sheets this weekend?

No clinton supporter (or democrat for that matter) should ever be given any respect.

I know some fine people whose politics are goofy. Conversely, I've met people who vote my way -- straight R -- but are first-class s**ts. Politics ain't everything.

Sorry, it's unprofessional.

Like so many things in life, this is one of those problems that is quickly and easily solved by a simple punch in the mouth. Rare is the person who continues such boorish behavior afterwards...

He wouldn't be allowed to call her a 'whore'at any time so why should he get away with this, there's no difference.

... and anything that has to do with Clinton, is sexual harrassment.

[cubreporter]

Who was he to call her Monica anyway? Who was he to dare to ask her how was her weekend with Bill? Most importantly who in thee HELL was he to even make mention of a cigar while addressing her? It may not have been sexual harassment but it was out of line and ignorant to the highest level. Perhaps though, she should have begun calling him some less desireable names and make references as well each time he did so to her. Ignornant old creep!

"Blown up"? The professor was dead wrong and his rudeness and highly inappropriate remarks in a classroom setting are indefensible. Where were the other students when this was going on? Didn't anyone in that classroom object? And if it is considered sexual harassment for a man to be reading a "girlie" magazine in the privacy of his office, I fail to understand how this case, which is a much more egregious example of sexual harassment, was dismissed out-of-hand. New Putz College lives up to its name.

The world comes to an end when some chick finds a *p* hair (so she said) on her Coke can, but this so OBVIOUS harrassment technique gets tossed??

Politics ain't everything.

Met my fair share of R's, D's, I's, U's (undeclared), C's (Commies), P&F's (Peace & Freedom), etc. ... will personally attest to the political leanings being one of the last indicators of whether or not the person is a first-class s**t. (Goes for quite a few "extremely devoted church-goers" as well).

I'll save my Monicow photos for a more appropriate thread. :)

[Dawgsquat]

You are correct of course. There's no excuse for this.

Am I one of the goofy ones? LOL!!!

Well . . . . . . . . . where's my copy of the Fifth Amendment?.........;-)

Fact of the matter is, I was thinking of some other people. After posting, though, I looked again and thought "damn, I hope my Dawggie friends don't read it the wrong way."

[Dawgsquat]

Oh no........not at all. LOL!

Believe me, I don't hold that comment against you. Trent Lott (R, MS) would drive anyone 'round the bend.

Goofy libertarian!

[Dawgsquat]

Hmmmmm.....as bad as Rent Lott is I bet I can think of some in California that are just as bad if not worse. Should I play his game or just wish him a great evening?

Have a great evening dighton.

[dighton]

Sure, rub California in!

You have a great evening too.
