Gabrielle Giffords, former U.S. Representative from Arizona, and her husband Mark Kelly, a Navy pilot and NASA astronaut, will be this year’s speakers for the Class Day ceremonies at Harvard Law School. Class Day will take place on Wednesday, May 27, 2015.

Giffords served as U.S. Representative from Arizona’s 8th Congressional District from 2007 to 2012. She survived an assassination attempt in Tucson in 2011 while meeting with her constituents. The gun attack killed six people and injured 13 others, including Giffords, who sustained a gunshot wound to the head.

Despite her massive injuries and subsequent neurosurgeries, Giffords returned to the U.S. House less than seven months after the attack. She resigned her seat in 2012 to focus on her continued recovery. Upon stepping down, she announced, “I will return, and we will work for Arizona and this great country.”

Puppet to invade institute of "higher" edumakation with puppeteer firmly in place. Just goes to prove that no amount of "higher" education can make some people intelligent.

I keep waiting for “Commander” Mark to launch the political career the MSM keeps talking about.
Although the success rate for gun grabbers hasn’t been too good lately.
At a minimum he’s gonna have to relocate from Arizona.

At least it’s a step up from Kanye West.

They are also two of America’s biggest freedom-hating freeloaders.

LOL! I read further down in to the article and saw this. WOW! Havahd sure knows how to bring the “best” to talk to the “brightest”.

The Harvard Commencement speaker will be Deval Patrick `82, who recently concluded two terms as the 71st governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

You can always tell a Harvard man. But you can’t tell him much.

Mark’s twin brother Scott will be spending the next year in orbit. He’s on a NASA mission to obtain comparative data on twins in different environments. Scott must have pulled the short straw. Why couldn’t Mark have been blasted off instead?

” At a minimum he’s gonna have to relocate from Arizona.”

He is hated here, so it makes sense to bail.

I note she visited Tufts too - and Tufts may surprise and wait-list her, because they are tired of being known as the Ivy’s back-up school.

Hahvid sure isn’t the school it once was. Ever notice how many old hippies there are out there driving around with a “My Kid Is An Honor Student At Hahvid” bumper sticker next to their Obama bumper stickers on the rear of their VW bug?

Are they still claiming that the left-wing Crazy who shot her is a Vast Right Wing Fanatic, egged on by Sarah Palin?

That may be, but taking a HUGE risk doing so.

The Chicago Mob plays for keeps and I suspect Tufts would see their federal money being squeezed.

For some reason, I got a flash of Bernadette and Howard from Big Bang Theory.
Mark Kelly is “Fruit Loops”

She will read carefully and slowly what someone else wrote for her.

She is being used.

“Puppet” and “puppeteer” are excellent descriptions of this pair. Kelly is disgusting as he parades his brain-damaged wife around to use as a prop.

Is that 98 Marxist commencement speakers in a row for Harvard?

Pray America is waking
