And then Fox News got involved with an invitation to Pino to debate me on “Fox News Live” Thursday morning (March 1st). He declined Fox, which can be roughly translated as: “(Expletive) you, infidel. I have tenure.”
Next in line was the staff of Special Report with Britt Hume. When they somehow got through to him directly, Pino refused to deny his association with the “Global War” blog – a refusal which can be roughly translated as: “(Expletive) you, infidel. I have tenure.”
His Chair did not help matters at all when publicly admitted this week that Pino has confessed to him that he does contribute to the site – although he does not “own” it. Well, that certainly clears him. Just like the guy I know who committed murder and later said – after being caught with the smoking gun - that he didn’t “own” it. He just fired a few shots from it. That’s all.
And speaking of smoking guns, I’m holding one right in my lap as I write this short column. It is a profanity-laced email from http://global-war.bloghi.com using the email address (jpino@kent.edu).
How about that, ladies and gentlemen? Kent State issued a statement yesterday - after an investigation that took hours – saying that there is, a) no evidence connecting Pino to the site (which contradicts his Chair’s statements), and b) no evidence he used Kent State resources in the activities he allegedly wasn’t involved with.
I would say that establishing Pino as an active Al Qaeda sympathizer was difficult but, clearly, that would be a lie. And that might get me promoted to the administration of Kent State University. |
