McCain/Palin Sign Stealing Professor Resigns
Philip Busse bragged about it on Huffington Post.
A visiting St. Olaf instructor who wrote an online essay about stealing John McCain lawn signs -- "like a ninja under the cover of cloudy Minnesota night" -- has resigned, the Northfield college announced.Philip Busse, a journalist and political activist from Portland, Ore. who taught a media studies course, also will be charged with misdemeanor theft. He could face up to 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine, according to the Rice County Sheriff's Office.
After learning of Busse's essay, "Confessions of a Lawn Sign Stealer," St. Olaf denounced his actions, saying they "were in direct conflict with the college's values and mission."
Leftist Busse will undoubtedly be welcomed elsewhere.
On the bright side, at least he didn't stab anyone with a screwdriver, as a deceased Huffington Post writer did.
