University of California President Janet Napolitano says "Let�s just break. Let�s go, let�s go. We don�t have to listen to this crap" into a hot mike.

"Napolitano was sitting next UC regent Chairman Bruce Varner as a group of about two dozen protesters shouted loudly, denouncing potential tuition hikes...."
To make their point loud and clear, a group of the protesters... pulled their clothes off down to their underwear during the demonstration, revealing the words �Student Debt� written on their bodies.

�I don�t know where she�s coming from, but I�m assuming she�s never had to deal with these issues personally. So I can understand why there would be a disconnect there,� [student protester Kristian] Kim said after learning about the �crap� comment.
I think the "crap" comment is fine. I don't like rude protesting at a meeting where the students were given an opportunity to be heard and where Napolitano had addressed them saying "I want to commit to them that their voices are being heard." It's not as if she's 2-faced, saying one thing when she knows she's the students are hearing her and another when she thinks they are not. She said one thing about a group that she thought would engage in a polite colloquy and something else to 2 dozen half-dressed shouters.
