The artist formerly known as "The Ultimate Warrior" (now apparently
just plain "Warrior" for some reason) made a professional
wrestling-sized ***** of himself at the University of Connecticut last
week, choke-slamming the UConn College Republicans in the process.
Former WWF star Warrior had apparently been invited by the College
Republicans to speak about... well, actually that's not entirely
clear.
But Warrior is a radical right-wing nutcase, so presumably that's all
the reason they needed.
Unfortunately Warrior was a little too nutty even for the College
Republicans, "screaming and stomping on the stage," according to
liveaudiowrestling.com, and provoking the crowd into a frenzy.

The evening turned sour when Warrior answered an Iranian student's
question by telling him that he needed to "get a towel," and
pontificated on such subjects as why "Queering don't make the world
work."
Which is a bit odd coming from a guy who used to make a living
publicly groping a steady stream of greased-up bodybuilders in
leotards.
Anyway, it turns out that the UConn College Republicans were a tad
embarrassed by the debacle, issuing a profoundly apologetic press
release the next day.

They made sure to mention that they were sending individual letters of
apology to, "the Rainbow Center, AQUA, QUAD, the African American
Cultural Center, the Asian American Cultural Center, the Puerto
Rican/Latin American Cultural Center, the Iranian Students
Association, and the Women's Center."
Oh, and in case you were wondering, "this is not a complete list of
the groups that will receive a direct written apology from the College
Republicans."
Good lord.
But the story doesn't end there:
the College Republicans' press release provoked a hilarious outburst
"From the Desk Of Warrior" where he announced (in the third person!)
that

"All of the above notwithstanding, it is somewhat sad to see how
utterly spineless the UConn College Republicans have turned out to be.
Not a single UConn CR voiced any objection to Warrior after the event.
The detailed emails between Warrior and the UConn CRs reveal that the
CRS repeatedly encouraged Warrior to single out the Tent City Trash
for some re-education.
Yet, it now seems that the CRS have collectively decided to bow down
and beg forgiveness from various extremist, anti-American, left-wing
groups who infest the UConn campus.
Perhaps the UConn CRS should refrain from engaging in political
activism until such time as they develop enough backbone to be able to
withstand not being liked by their opponents."
Ooh, smackdown!
