Finally, a piece of policy that may truly unite both houses. The left and the right can’t agree on health care, budget cuts or foreign policy -- but perhaps they can all collectively agree that no one should be forced to pay to hear Snooki speak.

The Jersey Shore star is the driving force before a new piece of legislation proposed by Senator Joe Kyrillos (R-NJ).

The bill proposes to change the way universities collect fees from students, making paid campus events optional. Kyrillos was prompted to write the bill when Nicole Polizzi (Snooki) earned $32,000 for her appearance at Rutgers University -- $2,000 more than the amount given to Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison (that’s just sad). Snooki’s paycheck came from the funds provided by students, who were obligated to pay a student activity fee.

And Kyrillos doesn’t agree with that. “Students ought not be forced to fund entertainment or events that they find objectionable,” he explained. “There were a great deal of Rutgers students who, I am certain, were uninterested or flat-out outraged by Ms. Polizzi’s appearance on campus.” Yeah, let’s hope so.

He went on to call the Snooks a “degenerate reality television star who offers neither useful advice nor any appreciable talents.” Burn.

Maybe Kyrillos is being a little harsh. What was it that Snooki said to the Rutgers students? “Study hard, but party harder.”

We stand corrected.
