Amy Bishop, Leftist Oddball

Gene Lalor | February 18, 2010 

When the Boston Herald calls a committed leftist and Obama lover such as accused murderess Amy Bishop  an “oddball” in a headline either it’s time to sit up and take notice or the Herald is being misquoted. 

Actually, neither is the case.  There’s still no need to pay much attention to that newspaper and “oddball” is no misquote, it’s just taken from the statement of a Bishop co-worker.

That same acquaintance, Sylvia Fluckiger, described Bishop as grinning when discussing a still-unsolved 1993 case involving a double pipe bomb mailed to the home of a Harvard M.D. with whom she was known to argue: http://bit.ly/aK0BRB 

She’s not grinning anymore. 

Ms. Bishop, a “research star,” who received mixed reviews from her students and who had been denied tenure, was beyond odd even before she allegedly murdered three colleagues and wounded three at the University of Alabama at Huntsville last Friday. 

In addition to the current allegations of murder and the grinning episode, in 1986 she admitted to accidentally murdering her 18 year old brother but wasn’t charged. 

That “incident” happened in liberal Braintree, Massachusetts and the case may now be re-opened. 

Sixteen years later, in 2002 she assaulted another patron in an IHOP over a booster seat, punching the woman in the head while screaming, “I am Dr. Amy Bishop!” 

Apparently neither the woman nor prosecutors were impressed with her credentials.  She was convicted and received probation and a recommendation that she attend anger management classes: http://bit.ly/bqXh3S 

Apparently, again, she either flunked those classes or never attended since she sure seemed angry last Friday when she went on her killing rampage at UAH which hired her and retained her despite those multiple “incidents.”

That’s unfortunate for Dr. Bishop who now faces death by lethal injection at the Holman Correctional Facility in Atmore if convicted of the mass murder.  It’s a very remote possibility that she could forestall the needles by proclaiming, “I am Dr. Amy Bishop!”

And, maybe not.

Of course, she could always throw herself on the mercy of the court and appeal to her hero, fellow oddball leftist, Barack Obama, to intercede on her behalf.  However, hero or not, it’s unlikely that Obama would dirty his hands with another oddball if he refused to intercede on behalf of his “dear Auntie” Zeituni Onyango in her quest for asylum in America.

Bishop’s husband, James Anderson, had dismissed the IHOP affair as “just stupid” without assigning the stupidity.  It’s unclear as to who he feels was stupid in Friday’s murders: http://bit.ly/bRNomy 

And here I thought all stupid mass murderers were Rush Limbaugh-conservatives and not oddballs in leftist academia!
