I think it is jackassery. If you have a problem with a public official, protest at the person's office or as close as you can get. Don't take it to someone's home.

But you live where people are nice. I'll bet you put jackassery sub-Hank on the scale, where in NYC, Hank wouldn't even rank a jackass wannabe.
I think you need thick skin to be an elected official (college president, a few other jobs). Back when I worked in politics, that would have been one step above the fake-bomb-threat (a weekly occurance), and certainly wouldn't have been as bad as much of what I saw. Peksy, annoying, but fairly pedestrian. Be glad they put up with it, but don't think that one is anything out of the ordinary.
