The college president has said he's disappointed that Cheney used the college to bash Kerry and has invited Kerry to the college to respond.

The cynical side of me says that part of this McAwful/Kerry vicitmization about the Republican attack machine "going after Kerry's medals" this morning was about pre-empting the Vice-President's foreign policy speech in Fulton.

I see academia is onboard with "the message".

Good catch Peach.

Here's a quote from your link:

"Lamkin [the college president], who described himself to the AP as a split-ticket voter [uh huh, yeah, right], said, "We would be naive not to think there would be some politics in an address during an election year, so no, we were not duped." [Then, what's the problem?, oh, that's right, he's a split ticket voter (read: democrat)] But he added: "The second half of the speech was all about politics and a political stump speech and in that respect it was disappointing." [Okay, let me get this straight, he wasn't duped, he expected politics in an election year in a speech by the Vice President, but he was disappointed because there was politics in the speech. Oh, NOW I get it!]

He's sent word to Kerry that he is welcome to come speak at the college, in the interests of fairness. What a guy, what a man, what a democrat!
