DURHAM, N.C. (AP) - Former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright will deliver Duke University's commencement address and also is one of four people who will receive honorary degrees from Duke [on May 9th], school officials said.

Albright, who also served as Clinton's national security adviser, now is a principal in The Albright Group LLC, a global strategy firm that she founded in Washington, D.C.

Hardly a shock at Duke. NC Ping.

Here's to hoping that she shows up to speak and is handed a mop instead.

The basic purpose of an honorary degree is most often to embarrass the institution granting it.

Headline: "Entire graduating class turns to stone."

[onedoug]

All that money for a so-called education culminating in a rant by this goof?

[Future Snake Eater]

Big deal--we got General McNeill!

[alancarp]

Embarrassed?? Naw - this is the same University, when recently confronted with the fact that the staff was almost vacant of Conservatives to any extent at all, responded by saying that "diversity" involved racial and ethnic considerations, not ideological or intellectual thinking.

[alancarp]

Oh yeah - I would expect a big-time rant! Here's a summary of her speech: "it was Reagan's fault when I took over. it's Bush's fault now that's undoing everything we did. We're an international pariah thanks to Iraq, which is a quagmire."

Oh: in the interest of full disclosure - the article's headline was altered as marked for the sake of clarity only.

This woman gives me the creeps. When I first laid eyes on her years ago I thought she was a giant lizard dressed in a human suit. The beady little eyes, the sneers. I kept expecting her tounge to flash out and suck up a fly. Brrrr!

"now is a principal in The Albright Group LLC, a global strategy firm that she founded in Washington, D.C."

BAAAAAWWAAAAAAHHHHH.....I'd like to see WHO her firm is giving "strategy" advice to.....LOL.

[b4its2late]

She can talk about all of the success she and clinton had keeping North Korea out of the nuclear club.

[tracer]

Why is the planned landing of a yet another fly in a bucket of liberal manure considered to be news.....

[thoughtomator]

Hey, not every university gets a world-famous war criminal as their commencement speaker!

bump

As a loyal Alumni it makes me very proud the Colin Powell will be making the commencement at Wake Forest University. A somewhat conservative institution in today's terms.

[ohioman]

Another reason to hate DUKE! North Carolina at Chapel Hill is useless also. They'll probably try to get Saddam released so that he can speak to them.

These are two of the most liberal chitholes in the South.

[bmwcyle]

She will then clean the gym.

Wonder if she will announce that her family is returning all the art the Nazis stole from Jewish families prior to and during WW II.
