Poor Larry Summers

First, Larry Summers gets in trouble for suggesting to the great Cornell West that he might try working for his paycheck, then he speaks truth to power and the left is calling for his head.

Although no call came for a vote of "no confidence," which some faculty members have suggested might occur at a future meeting, physics professor Daniel S. Fisher asked for Summers's resignation.

"For the good of Harvard, Lawrence Summers must resign, or the corporation, for the good of Harvard, must fire him," said Fisher, referring to Harvard's governing board, the Crimson reported. "We cannot wait for irreparable harm to come to Harvard."
