Michigan Senator Carl Levin gets pied.

You can't make this us.

Carl Levin, one of the most liberal, far-left members of the Senate, was attacked by an even more liberal, farther-left moonbat this morning at a public meeting in Big Rapids, Michigan.

The Democrat from Detroit was speaking to members of the Mecosta County Democratic Party when a young man -- who described himself as a student -- began chastising Levin for his work on the Senate Armed Services Committee, which helps direct military and war policy.

After a few minutes of speaking at Pepper's Café and Deli, a woman who accompanied the student to the event walked up to Levin and hit him in the face with a pie, a source with Levin's office confirmed.

Big Rapids Police arrested the woman on assault and battery charges.

The Big Rapids Pioneer newspaper reported the woman's name as Ahlam Mohsen, a 23-year-old senior at Michigan State University; and her friend who instigated the incident with Levin as Max Kantar, 23. MSU lists Mohsen as a student, while Kantar attends Ferris State University.

Had these two fools done their homework they'd have figured out that the only reason that Levin has sat on the Senate Armed Services Committee all these years is to obstruct military planning and readiness, to kill vital weapons systems and force the closure of bases that we still need, and to be able to pry into and meddle with classified operations. He's never been a friend of the military or a supporter of our troops--he's always fought to make their jobs harder.

So along come these two cretins. Ignorant of the fact that Levin is solidly on their side, they hit him with a pie then run away and wind up getting stopped and arrested down the road. And now Ahlam (and out of curiosity, what sort of a name is "Ahlam"?) is in jail, properly charged with Assault. I'm no fan of Senator Levin (and haven't been since he had me tossed out of one of his town halls back in the 1980's for accidentally referring to him as "Senator Lenin" via an unintended Freudian slip) but assaults on public speakers are unacceptable conduct no matter who the target it. Here's hoping that Michigan State has some stones and expels her, and ditto for Ferris State and the other loon.

UPDATE: Turns out these two have been arrested for harassing Levin before, apparently on behalf of Hamas. Can you say "jihadist stalkers"? Lagniappe says that Levin might want to reconsider his lifelong opposition to gun ownership and learn to use a pistol.

When professors attack

As if I needed another reason to be humiliated about ever going to Michigan State University, whacko airport-tantrum-throwing, cop-biting Economics professor John McCallie gives me yet another reason following his childish meltdown at the airport in Sarasota, Florida.

Per this Detroit Free Press story, the nutty professor began dumping trash from a concourse trash can looking for a baggage claim check that he'd apparently tossed out. When an airport police officer asked him what he was doing and told him to put the trash back in the can, McCallie wnet off his cams and began shouting obscenities and swinging the trash can at the officer. He then resisted arrest and actually bit--yes, bit--the police officer who was trying to handcuff him. He was finally subdued by officers using pressure points and the officer that he bit required a trip to the hospital. He's now out on bond with a pending trial date, and predictably, MSU is "standing behind him".

MSU could gain a lot of my lost respect for them back if they'd refrain from making statements until after he is tried, and if he's convicted they need to boot him out the door for embarrassing the school.

(Note to children and John McCallie: police officers are our friends. It's not nice to bite them.)

(Note #2--this time just to John McCallie: You got off lucky. Had you bitten me while I was cuffing you, you'd have been the hospital case.)

Anyway, for those interested, here's John's faculty homepage
