Meeting Adversity With A Quiet Dignity And Grace

Bill Kristol demonstrated how best to win an “argument” with an opponent: don’t let anything ruffle you or break your resolve.
The meat of the story:

RICHMOND, Ind. — A pie in the face didn’t silence conservative pundit William Kristol during a speech at Earlham College.
A man who later was identified as a student at the private Quaker college jumped onto the stage and splattered Kristol with the pie Tuesday night about 30 minutes into a speech about U.S. foreign policy.
Members of the audience jeered the student as he walked off the stage, then applauded as Kristol wiped the goo off his face with a paper towel and said, “Just let me finish this point,” the Palladium-Item reported.
[…]
Earlham is a liberal arts college of about 1,200 students that is well-known for its peace studies program.

Emphasis mine.
Heh.
