Some time ago she became a veritable public affairs officer for Michael &#8220;Mikey&#8221; Weinstein, taking on his mantle and acting as his outlet for just about anything he had to say.

She asked him about his next big thing:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Mikey Weinstein, the crusader against religious bias in the armed forces, will ask the Air Force Academy to remove the words &#8220;in the year of our Lord&#8221; from diplomas for the class of 2016, which <!--more-->graduates in May, he tells the Independent.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yes, Pam Zubeck just gave Weinstein the ironic moniker of &#8220;crusader.&#8221; Armed with this juicy exclusive, Zubeck ran to the Air Force Academy for their reaction, since they <em>have<\/em> to respond to anything Weinstein mentions over lunch.<\/p>\n<p>USAFA said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>No comment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Seems USAFA&#8217;s days of pandering to Mikey Weinstein&#8217;s every lunch hour whim are gone, along with <a href=\"http:\/\/christianfighterpilot.com\/2010\/09\/20\/bat-signal-busted-weinstein-declares-war-back-on\/\">the bat signal<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Despite being Weinstein&#8217;s ally, Zubeck also managed to highlight\u00a0his very selective outrage:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Lt.
