A key role of the academic sector is to provide landing pads for retired/disgraced politicians, as well as holding areas for those waiting out an election cycle. Related: Politico: Hillary Clinton considering academic options. “Hillary Clinton is fielding offers from colleges and universities — including Harvard and her law school alma mater, Yale — to give her a formal academic role, a move that would give her a platform outside her family’s foundation. . . . The advantage to Clinton of an academic platform, beyond the scope of her policy interests, could be huge for someone considering a presidential run. It would provide her with a credible backdrop for speeches and events that would take her outside of a hotel ballroom or something sponsored by her family’s foundation or another outside group.”
If elected President, she’ll no doubt find a way to return the favor.

An apology letter to Mr. Obama
An apology letter to Mr. Obama | The Matt Walsh Blog:
The fact is, a rodeo clown in Missouri made fun of you.
Nothing can ever ease the pain he has caused.
This sort of crass lampooning of public officials has never happened at a rodeo until now, and I know that because a bunch of people who have never been within 150 miles of a rodeo said so.

And then — worse still — the crowd erupted in applause at the spectacle of a guy in an Obama mask being chased by a rampaging bull.
Racists, the lot of ‘em!
I mean, Bush never got this sort of treatment.
Nobody ever mocked or satirized him.
No crude jokes were told about him.
Nobody ever wished violence or death upon him.
Ever.
You know why?
Because he’s white.
White presidents always get treated nicely, especially white Republicans.
Just ask Lincoln.
The whole country agreed for over two centuries that we don’t ever insult presidents, then you get into office and all of a sudden every day is Pick on the President Day.
Outrageous!
Besides, you are due some respect.
Besides, you are due some respect.
You’ve earned it.
You’ve done nothing but serve these people and make their lives better, and this is how they treat you? Ungrateful brats.
You should drone bomb these haters.
Just kidding.
But seriously, you should.
