From indymedia: William Kristol Gets PiedWilliam Kristol, founder of the Project for a New American Century (a leading neo-con think tank) and a key figure in American foreign policy for over 20 years, was hit by what appeared to be a cream pie tonight in Richmond, Indiana. Throughout his speech, given at Earlham College, he defended the "Bush doctrine" of pre-emptive war and state terror and was in the process of comparing current policy challenges to those of the early Cold War when a young man calmly lifted himself onto the stage and
quickly walked to the podium, splattering a delicious dish all over the speaker as well as the college's president (collateral damage, perhaps?).
Unfortunately, after a period of shock, many people in the audience stood and clapped to show support for Kristol (for a total of three standing ovations), including many self-professed peace activists and liberals who were afraid that this succulently sweet action would discredit Earlham College. They apparently forgot, perhaps due to his liability as a speaker, of Kristol's central role in the Reagan and Bush I administrations, his long efforts as a Harvard-trained political scientist to provide the intellectual justification for the Bush agenda of foreign intervention, and his current place as an architect of a war in Iraq which has claimed tens of thousands of innocent lives.
It's not quite the Cronenbergian exploding head I thought it was when I first saw the photo, but I'll settle for a pie for this war-mongering moFo. I realize "Americans don't care about the war," which is why Bush squeaked in again (with a little cheating), but many of us here in the New York metro area are tired of having this violent, inept cadre in office. They're admitting they failed in Iraq, otherwise Wolfowitz and Feith would be moving up in the Defense Department, instead of being shunted aside.
Mmmmm ... pre-emptive pie.
so now he becomes the pie'd piper of neo cons?
sorry!
I'm a appalled if that was a pie sold over the counter in these trying times.
The lead up to this pie incident. The guy responsible, tried to pass out fliers on the earlham campus to get the word out ahead of time about the pieing of Mr kristol. But for some reason, on this normally radically left of center quaker campus that in the past had no problem with free speech, all the fliers were conficscasted.
the neocons are everywhere.
Pies don't pie people, people pie people.
