Jason Whitlock: patriot, pauper

In a speech at his alma mater, Kansas City Star columnist Jason Whitlock told students at Ball State University that he serves his country by being a good journalist. USA! USA!

Here's the Whitlockian word as reported by the Ball State Daily News:

"The

sacrifice I'll make is that I'll never be rich," Whitlock said. "I

thought that this was really the most patriotic thing I could do:

challenge the authority. Our country was built on that; America exists

because some of us told England to go fuck themselves. We have to have

people like that to take on that challenge."

Yeah, go fuck yourself, power structure. Too bad the kids in the crowd missed the hefty teachable moment before them: calling bullshit on a non-voting columnist who, at last word, was pulling in a salary in the middle six figures for his Star and Fox Sports jobs.

Yeah, Jason. You're totally a common man in your "custom-made, black linen, crepe-weave shorts with a matching Tommy Bahama-style button-up shirt, black dress sandals and black Kangol hat."
