I have always wondered about the psychology of streakers. At some point those young fellas had to look at one another and say "hey, I've got a great idea - let's take off our clothes and run around nekkid in front of a crowd." Kinda sad when you're actually hoping that alcohol and drugs were involved...

Well, look at the bright side. There's bound to be "alternative schools" where that sort of behavior is normal...

"Why do some people insist on revealing their shortcomings?"

-David Niven when a streaker ran across the stage at the Academy Awards.

"He's a good kid, an honors student and has never been in any trouble before," she said Thursday.

Apparently she expects a one free flash rule. Must be a Clinton voter. I can understand teenagers throwing aside self-control, but when they realize that stupid actions have consequences, they eventually (hopefully) learn to act like adults. When the 'adults' here demand a free pass, all this kid will learn is that self-control is not a character trait which needs to be acquired. Then he'll just be another Clinton clone.
