As authorities searched for clues into what could have sent a University of Alabama neurobiology professor on an alleged killing spree, friends and family yesterday described Braintree native Amy Bishop as an awkward introvert on the brink of losing her teaching job.

A family source said Bishop, a mother of four children - the youngest a third-grade boy - was a far-left political extremist who was “obsessed” with President Obama to the point of being off-putting.

And for the soon to be made TV movie how about Charlie Sheen as Amy Bishop

I'm tired of the typecasting, too. Extroverts can't understand introverts (who are in the minority), and what they can't convert they scorn. It's tedious.

(Knocks ring on table in approval of comment)

Ah yes, I always enjoy comments like, “[she] was a very good person”, uh yeah, okay. Let’s see murdered three, wounded what, three others? Implicated in the murder of her brother, also the attempted murder of the professor and his wife with a homemade bomb, sure is a good person alright, great friend and neighbor!

Well extroverts come right out and tell introverts what they think, while introverts just stare at extroverts. We extroverts know what you’re thing though.

Separated at birth?

It’s the eyes man.

We all know very well that the left calling us violent is nothing more than their usual projection. Like those “conservative” eco-terrorists, eh!

[ConservativeStatement]

Obama said she “acted stupidly...not!”

[Pharmboy]

They must go to the same hairdresser.

[Charles Martel]

Hey, not everyone can wear that ‘60s pageboy hair style the way Agent 99 did.

[JNRoberts]

I kind of have that feeling everytime I see the face of Keith Olberjerk.......no?

[Walkingfeather]

Yep Crazy Eyes. It is amazing how some people can not see it.

[catpuppy]

Has “never” been taken?

[Hegewisch Dupa]

bless you for the eye relief

"Any bets that she drives a Subaru?"

No, my money's on a Pious...oops, I'm mean Prius.

[Carpe Cerevisi]

Emo Phillips could play her in a made for TV show on Lifetime

Another liberal ivy-league-trained professor on yet another homicidal rampage. I fear for the students at Harvard and Yale if the GOP wins 140 House and 12 Senate seats in November.
