Numbnuts! Union big's nasty nickname for Klein

The New York Post reports:

The teachers union boss has a new pet name for Joel Klein: "Chancellor Numbnuts," insiders say.

United Federation of Teachers President Mike Mulgrew referred to Klein and the Department of Education as acting "nuts" and doing "nutty" things while addressing Big Apple union delegates Friday at a meeting in Washington, DC, attendees said.

The in-your-face Mulgrew also used the put-down "numbnuts," one attendee recalled, to describe the schools chancellor in a breakfast speech at the New York State United Teachers annual convention.

His audience loved it.

Great moments in public education.
