Ahmad al-Qloushi, a student at Foothill College, was at the center of an incident that caused some waves in the blogosphere a while ago. Basically, he wrote this essay that sucked. He was asked to write an essay on how the Constitution was written by elites. He instead wrote an essay on how wonderful America is.

Well, months after two conservative political science professors (as well as a number of moderates and liberals) said they would have given the kid a low D or an F (a C if he answered the question, based on his grammar), Horowitz is still pimping his cause on Sean Hannity's show.
