In her role as the co-host of "The Today Show" on NBC, Ann Curry is renowned for her grace and gravitas...[more ass-kissing follows]....
After taking the stage to launch into [Norton Massachusetts' Wheaton College's] 175th commencement address, she [spoke of] a few of the school's more illustrious alums. Among the entries on the Curry honor roll: "60 Minutes" correspondent Lesley Stahl, evangelist Billy Graham, slasher-film director Wes Craven, and United Airlines Flight 93 passenger Todd Beamer.
There was just one problem: Apart from Stahl, everyone on that list actually graduated from another Wheaton College, the Christian liberal-arts college in Wheaton, Illinois.

You won't find video or a transcript of Curry's commencement gaffe anywhere on the Web at this point, because the school has graciously scrubbed all traces of it from the official video and transcript posted on its website. "We didn't want to broadcast misinformation," Wheaton spokesman Michael Graca told the Boston Globe, adding that Curry "gave a great speech.
IF SARAH PALIN MADE SUCH A BLATANT ERROR, ONE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN RESEARCHED MONTHS AGO WHEN SHE GOT THE GIG, THE MEDIA WOULD BE TRUMPETING THAT NEWS!
Looks like ANN CURRY isn't ready for MORNING DRIVE or Prime Time!
Ann Curry is only good for one thing
the left’s perspective is, it’s ok if we’re totally wrong...it doesn’t matter...why?...because we’re better than you
She gave a great speech??? The darn thing was all wrong.
What the heck does it take for these libs to recognize truth???
Miss Curry appears to be a graduate of the Joe Biden School of Historical Truthiness.
Ann Curry, the kissass Clinton porno appointment gate keeper???
This is just ONE MORE EVIDENCE of the utter LAZINESS of people considered “journalists” in our day and age.
Obviously Curry, or one of her assistants, did a GOOGLE search for Wheaton graduates. They didn’t REALLY think or read about the college’s history.
And the COLLEGE covers up her FAILURE by not acknowledging it....just like the MEDIA today covers for HUSSEIN’s failures.
Makes me sick. I guaran-damn-tee you, if lovely Sarah had screwed up in such a big way, the MEDIA INCLUDING ANN CURRY would be ripping her and calling her an amateur.
Like when Hussein USED “corpse” instead of “corps”, the way the LEFT—in academia and media—cover each other’s sorry, pathetic, STUPID hind ends is enraging.
And to happen to someone in the news media is total shame with all the research people and archives to have at her disposal. LOL Will be interesting to see if she says anything about this or just plays like it never happened.
Wow she is freak’in brilliant.
ann curry didnt run for vp. she is a nobody newscaster
Ann Curry is delicious with Basmati rice, papadams and gulab jamin.
It is a good thing that we have Obama to give us all of the adversity that we could ever want.
I have some friends on the faculty at the other Wheaton. I’ll bet they’re getting a kick out of this.
I am mortified by my mistake, and can only hope the purity of my motive, to find a way to connect with the graduates and to encourage them to a life of service, will allow you to forgive me."
"But to perhaps ad insult to injury, a Gawker.com commenter noticed that in her apology letter, Curry misspelled Lesley Stahl's first name."
Ann Curry dispenses graduation advice to the wrong student body
Ah yes, but you see, she has “grace and gravitas” according to the article so it’s OKAY!! Good ol’ gravitas will get you through a lot with liberals.
Yeah, when media twits screw up and confess they have grace and gravitas. One, just one error, even a perceived error is enough to disqualify any conservative.
Re post 2, that’s kind of cruel. But you might be right.
What, a doorstop?
That wasn’t what he was implying but even funnier.
Door stop....LOL
