I wonder if he’ll wear a dress.
The horror. There will be an earthquake in Ithaca over this.
A good sign that the students, also, are seeing the effects of liberalism/socialism?
It could have been worse; they could have chosen Snooki.
I know Rudy isn’t a true conservative, but he is an excellent choice for a commencement speaker. Very motivating and inspiring story.
So they’ll pick one token R and then go back to liberal wackos for the next 25 years.
If this is Ed’s metric for measuring the progress of conservatism, he’s desperate.
Maybe things will be looking up in Ithaca after all these years. Sure hope so for you and thousands of others who deplore what’s happened there. Any selection for the speaker yet at Ithaca College graduation? Wouldn’t that be a hoot if a conservative were also picked for that?
Never say never!
At least they picked somebody with a college degree this time. Our oldest graduated there two years ago and the speaker was David Plouffe, who has no degree. My kid is pretty non-political and she, along with many of her fellow grads, thought it was kind of insulting that that guy was chosen.
Giuliani’s a Republican? When did he switch?
Rudy’s a liberal and fits right in.
RINO, through and through; but, hey, gotta start somewhere!
Cornell goes back to the nineteenth century and its vicinity, rural and small-town upstate New York, had been traditionally Republican from the Civil War until recent decades. Furthermore, college campuses in general and Ivy League campuses in particular were not particularly dominated by leftists until the Vietnam era.
Far above Cayuga's waters
There she stands, Cornell
That smell is not Cayuga's waters
That smell is Cornell"
