Mother of all the Occupoopers is, well, overpaid

  Elizabeth Warren, who is running for the Scott Brown "Kennedy" seat, considers herself the mother of the Occupy movement. 
  Not unlike Al Gore who created the internet, she says she provided the "intellectual foundation" for the Occupoopers, who yesterday threw smoke bombs onto the White House lawn.
  Warren, who seems to be suffering some class confusion, made a helluva lot of dough last year as a professor at Harvard. We're waiting for the Occupoopers to protest their tuition rates because Warren is paid $429,000 a year as a Harvard professor. Tuition at Harvard is over $50,000 a year. 
  Democrats don't have a problem with 1%ers who claim to be 99%ers; what always follows that complaint is a long teary diatribe about how she/he worked their way up from nothing, life was so hard, everybody's prejudiced and all she/he ever wanted is to give back to society and help small children.
  Huh. Well, hard work is the reason a lot of people want to keep the money they earn. Not sure if sitting on boards and teaching a couple classes at Harvard a week is worth that kind of dough, but if that's what they're willing to pay, so be it. 
  Just don't complain, please.
  Boston.com:
Elizabeth Warren, the Harvard Law School professor and consumer advocate challenging Republican Senator Scott Brown, took home more than $700,000 in compensation from teaching and consulting fees over a two-year period from 2010 to 2011, according to her her most recent financial disclosure form.
  Not only that, but Warren had to revise how much she said she was paid for advising on TARP. 
  One might suspect there's been some prevaricatin' goin' on, in more ways than one.
