Talk:Beadle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Vandalism

Just removed the following lame vandalisation:

John McLaughlin, the sometimes mischievous host of The McLaughlin Group, used to call former panelist Fred Barnes "The Beadle", for reasons best known to himself. McLaughlin's use of the term may well derive from his exprience as a Jesuit, since the term "Beadle" (Latin, "bidellus") is used to refer to a student officer appointed by the master in each class to perform certain tasks in the classroom, such as answering the door, distributing materials, speaking for the class, and throwing themselves on hand grenades in case of a terrorist attack.

The culprit was 69.173.149.3
