This weekend, Princeton Professor Cornel West was arrested on the Supreme Court steps after attending a ceremony honoring Martin Luther King. What was he protesting? Corporate influence in politics-or some such nonsense. Another accomplishment to add to his already "sterling" resume.

Maybe now Lawrence Summers can bring West back to Harvard. Oh that's right. Summers works for Obama now.
Check out this gushing article by Susan Brooks in the Washington Post complete with video.

Sure hope Dr West didn't miss classes at Princeton this morning.
If West thought he was following in the footsteps of King, he was mistaken. King was arrested for protesting racism and segregation. Cornel West is no Martin Luther King.
