“Billy Boy”

By punch bowl | October 26, 2007

Not every student at the University of Rhode Island is a member of the Ryan Bilodeau Fan Club. One critic wrote this letter to the school newspaper, The Cigar:

I must admit that after a solid month and a half of silence, I found myself pondering the absence of the University of Rhode Island’s Grand Old Party from the headlines of the Cigar. I felt a void; I missed their antics in much the same way one misses waking to the soothing melody of jackhammers outside one’s window each morning. When the construction is finished and you wake one morning to discover the cacophony has left you, you almost miss it. Almost.

As I walked across the campus this afternoon, almost as if to answer my ponderings, I noticed something written in chalk in front of the student union. The term “Islamo-Fascism” caught my eye, and beneath that, the URI GOP. I smiled. “Billy Boy” is back.

“Billy Boy” is, of course, my pet name for URI GOP lap dog Ryan Bilodeau.

I always feel like I’m doing something wrong if liberals aren’t attacking me. So, considering this vitriolic criticism, maybe “Billy Boy” is doing something right.
