P.J. O’Rourke – My Commencement Speech to Rutgers’ Geniuses: Go Forth and Fail – The Daily Beast.
A must read for Rutgers students, especially the very loud minority and their progressive sympathizers who protested Condoleezza Rice as Rutgers University commencement speaker…
It’s shame she was busy. You might have heard something useful from a person who grew up poor in Jim Crow Alabama. Who lost a friend and playmate in 1963 when white supremacists bombed Birmingham’s Sixteenth Street Baptist Church. Who became an accomplished concert pianist before she tuned her ear to the more dissonant chords of international relations.
Secretary Rice was Phi Beta Kappa at the University of Denver and received a B.A. cum laude in political science—back before the worst grade a student had ever heard of was a B-.
The professor who influenced her most was Josef Korbel, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright’s father.
Secretary Albright and Secretary Rice don’t agree on much about international relations. But they don’t sit-in or teach-in at each other’s public appearances.
As they say…. read the whole thing.
What a bunch of spoiled, intellectual elite, brats. The same type of brats that govern the City and County of Boulder.
Let’s add some icing to this cake: The Oh-So-Fragile Class of 2014 Needs to STFU And Listen to Some New Ideas
Another powerful woman has been discouraged from speaking on campus. Because God forbid my fellow, fragile millennials have their ears damaged by words with which they don’t agree.
Spoiled brats, you should read this one too.
