I'm sorry you had to deal with a pompus a$$ for a speaker.
Luckily my grad speaker was George Bush the elder. He was great! No politics, he gave an upbeat look ahead speach! (1997)
For my nephew's graduation from medical school we had to sit through a condescending lecture by that awful woman with the hyphenated name who heads up the Children's Defense Fund (she's also a friend of the Hildebeast, but I can't think of her name).
Then, last month at my daughter's commencement we had to endure the remarks of a federal judge nominated by Paul Wellstone and appointed by Bill Clinton. Needless to say, he didn't invoke Reagan's name too often while quoting those he admired.
The same college has lined up Garrison Keillor for this fall's homecoming festivities.
And our institutions of higher learning pride themselves on promoting "diversity."
Yeah. Right.
