This afternoon, the Fruitcake Karol Madera, was bashing Amherst College. Madera, the rejected and ejected former real estate agent, was bashing one of the best schools in the United States. Someone should give that Fruitcake a reality check. He was discussing this with the part time lawn-mower man, Don Anderson, the self-confessed child rapist, and addicted drug felon. 
What a dumb ass!
