Wrinkletwink scheduled this while his wife was still ‘in the game.’ Beyond that, he doesn’t give a damn. The photo op dissolved.

With Bill Clinton bailing out, where is UCLA going to find a dynamic speaker who will inspire the graduates? I think Jeremiah Wright has an opening on his schedule.

he doesn’t want to be asked questions about Hillary’s campaign. I bet he would rather lie low for now.

clintons never turn down money, and billy never turns down a chance to be front-and-center...unless there is a personal price to pay.

He’s hiding out.

That would suggest that Obama is going to be somewhat disqualified. If so, and not discovered by now, I don’t believe it.

Dr. Walter Williams should check his schedule. In twenty minutes, he likely could undo four years of education.

The hilarious irony here is that if these colleges had commissioned normal conservative celebrities for their commencements instead of a couple of socialist scumbags like Clinton and Nunez, they wouldn’t have a problem.

It's possible he had another major herpes breakout on his lips and face.

UCLA's honorarium check must have bounced.

Clinton is all about the money.
