Do Berkeleyites dream of Soviet Birkenstocks?

Yoo: At Berkeley, protesting is an everyday activity. I am used to it. I remind myself of West Berlin — West Berlin surrounded by East Germany during the Cold War.

NYT: Are you saying the citizens of Berkeley are Communists, reminiscent of those on the dark side of the Iron Curtain?

Yoo: There are probably more Communists in Berkeley than any other town in America, but I think of them more as lovers of Birkenstocks than Marx.

Goddamn: So you’re saying you were just one notch above an intern, you and Monica Lewinsky?
She was much closer to the president than I ever was.


Steyn is not funnier than that!

Yoo is a deadpan kind of guy. They must hate his guts at Berkeley.

I hope he can block a wild, cannibis-aimed swing.
