It says a lot
I read this in The American Enterprise:
"Leftist anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan was paid $11,000 to give an hour-long speech at State University College in Oneonta, New York. The payment ate up nearly 30 percent of the school's annual lecture budget ... Meanwhile, retired Army officer Scott Rutter, a FOX News analyst who fought in Operation Iraqi Freedom, also spoke at the college. He was paid $600."
I don't know why this would come as a suprise to anyone. A "hotbed of liberalism" university holding the likes of Crusty Sheeman in higher regard that a veteran of our armed services. Shock you at all?

What crap. Isn't it?
The college should be ashamed of themselves for a. wasting funds on Sheehan and b. ripping off one our veterans.
