political round-up: the fabio love edition

i don't really like writing about politics, but it'll be hard to avoid in the upcoming weeks. first on the list today is news about political endorsements.

fabio endorses hillary clinton

"She's so smart. And with her, you're getting two with one. You know I love women, because I owe my success to women. To me, it will be the biggest reward. I would love for the first time to have a woman president."
And with Hillary in charge, he says, the Iraqi insurgents better watch out. "When a woman gets pissed off at you, she's going to get you, you know?"

wow. this is really big.
i just wonder if he will have the same effect on her numbers as he did with fake-butter sales. If obama has oprah (alliteration, how cute) and huckabee got karate chopped in a good way by chuck norris, then hillary needs some comforting too.
as long as the pectorally-gifted man stays away from roller coasters, i think she'll be all right.

but let's talk about something serious. the michigan student assembly (umich's student government) has found itself in ANOTHER scandal. some background: this is the same organization that had 2 people arrested for computer tampering during an apparently successful election fraud campaign and also forced a rep to resign because he sent jerkface e-mails to some overachieving student and her mother.

The concerned mother's e-mail asked about the availability of activities on campus for students who don't drink or go to parties. Liner responded to the parent by suggesting that students who don't enjoy going to parties often join the Board Game Club or "masturbate in the stacks of the Shapiro Undergraduate Library."
Liner then e-mailed the student, writing: "I thought I'd let you know that your mom is destroying your life. Enjoy!"

the latest transgression seems to be the lesser of the three, but absurd nonetheless.
the MSA president created a secret facebook group that mocked a fellow MSA rep's asberger's syndrome.
the group was called, "I waste more time reading Tim Hull's code amendments than I do on Facebook," and in the description reads, "I'll give that kid a fucking disability he can write home about if he keeps sending these code amendments to everyone." the image "consists of the scribbled words, 'SHUT UP TIM!'"
here's a pic of the prez:


you think he looks like an asshole? well, you'd be right. he apologized, calling it a "crass, inappropriate joke."

"Tim, I'm sorry. I don't know what to say. I'm an asshole."

but the story only gets odder, since the person who outed him was also in the facebook group, yet is coincidentally running for MSA again next year, but under a party he is starting himself. dude, as lame as the daily was, MSA proves time and again that they are much, much more lame.

and 40 minutes later, i'm done writing this post.
