Clinton Speaks at Packed Cornell Convocation Ceremony (flirts with female student ON STAGE)

ITHACA NY--Approximately 21,000 people -- current students, graduating seniors, their families and local residents -- filled Schoellkopf Field this morning to capacity to hear the first Convocation speech given by a U.S. president.

Bill Clinton spoke before an enthusiastic and energetic crowd, many of whom huddled together under makeshift blankets to shelter themselves from the surprisingly cool winds which rushed throughout the field during the ceremony.

The field -- which accommodated thousands of chairs -- and the bleachers were filled to capacity as Convocation began. The crowd erupted when Clinton -- along with Cornell President Jeffrey S. Lehman '77, Convocation chair David E. Jackson II '04, senior class president Esther Tang '04, alumni co-president Russell Maurice Franklin '04, student-elected trustee Funa Maduka '04 and a swath of Secret Service agents -- approached and took the stage.

The program began with Jackson's introductions. Tang then gave her well-received speech, a whimsical, humorous and nostalgic look back at her Cornell years and forward to the future.

It was then that Clinton -- who waived his speaking fee -- stood up to give his speech, receiving a strong standing ovation before he started to talk.

"Ladies and gentlemen, students who are here with me," he began, "I think you may have already heard the best speech of the day."

Referring to Tang's self-deprecating remark that she has looked the same since grade school, Clinton quipped, "[Y]ou were some spiffy sixth-grader."

The offender-in-chief just can't help himself, can he?

And, of course, he got a standing ovation in Ithaca. After all, Ithaca is the City of Evil.

shelter themselves from the surprisingly cool winds which rushed throughout the field during the ceremony.

Sorta reminds me of "The Exorcist".

In the end,
if clinton's arrogant, ruthless, reckless nature is restored to him,
it seems the joke will be on all of us,
for it will be a victory for infinite victimhood and irresponsibility,
for seduction, for violence, for nihilism, for anarchy.
 
We will have set apart clinton as the hero
by making his victims less human than he;
we will have allowed clinton to carefully estrange us from his victims
so that we can enjoy the rapes and the beatings
as much as clinton himself does.

Please allow me to do some editing:

The crowd erupted when Clinton -- along with Cornell President Jeffrey S. Lehman '77, Convocation chair David E. Jackson II '04, senior class president Esther Tang '04, alumni co-president Russell Maurice Franklin '04, student-elected trustee Funa Maduka '04 and a swath of Secret Service agents Federal marshalls with handcuffs and a warrant for the arrest of one William Jefferson Clinton -- approached and took the stage.

Herpes will be the least of her worries.
She will get a present that even the "wonder drugs" will run from.
