Posted on 05/03/2016 12:09:07 PM PDT by Jeff Chandler

President Bill Clinton will deliver the keynote address at Loyola Marymount University’s undergraduate commencement ceremony, LMU President Timothy Law Snyder, Ph.D., has announced.

President Clinton’s nephew, an undergraduate student, is participating in the commencement ceremony on Saturday, May 7, 2016.

“President Clinton is one of the great statesmen of our time, and he will address our students as they embark on the next stage of their lives,” Snyder said. “His commitment to improving the lives of other people, during and beyond his career in U.S. politics, embodies the ethos of becoming women and men with and for others. President Clinton will inspire our graduates as they seek to lead lives of meaning, purpose, and global impact.”

“Greatest statesman of our time”

Only if the meaning of statesman means rapist pig.

“President Clinton is one of the great statesmen of our time, and he will address our students as they embark on the next stage of their lives,” Snyder said.

I misread that at first it looked like "... he will undress our students..."

Little wonder the Jesuits would welcome former president, dis-barred sexual predator semen hydrant Slick Willy to speak at their University.

At least he’s doing it for free (unless Jesuits provide payment via hot college sorority cheerleader talent visits).

“He has waived his speaking fee for the commencement.

“In conferring this honor LMU does not endorse all of Mr. Clinton’s past or current policies nor condone all his actions,” said Rev. Allan Deck, S.J., rector of the LMU Jesuit Community. “Rather, the university recognizes the extraordinary service he has given to civil society and his lifetime connection to Catholic and Jesuit higher education as a Georgetown University alumnus. LMU, precisely because it is a Catholic and Jesuit University, seeks to follow the inspirational leadership of Pope Francis in promoting a culture of encounter that requires an openness to meet people cordially where they are rather than negatively in a judgmental way.”

Clinton said graduates are welcome to wear uniforms instead of cap and gown.

In case you didn't know, and I didn't, student nephew Tyler Clinton is the son of the former president's half-brother, Roger.

That’s Jesuits for you. Always on the cutting edge. Teilhard de Chardin would be pleased. Geez.....

Maybe Clinton will regale the grads with his taking Holy Communion in 1998. Or give them his position on abortion. Or his position on Monica Lewinsky.

This is the same university that just fired a 15-year employee without any pretense at due process after a complaint by a gay activist (because she had expressed her support for the traditional Catholic view that there are two sexes).

(I assume it was not a tenured faculty member or he or she would have received a pretense of due process.)
