measurements he touts don't apply to him. If he had ever been held accountable for his actions someone would have pried his lips off the asses of his investment banker buddies when he worked in Chicago and fired his sorry ass, puckered lips and all. It is just unbelievable to me that he is permitted to address groups of educators and that they allow themselves to be used as PR props by politely applauding him rather than throwing him off the stage.
