UW will probably invite him back.

He obviously didn’t get his point across to the unruly children who must have been listening to too much talk radio.

UW will join the call for limiting talk radio now.

LOL. I may be right. Read this comment;
Disrespect unwarranted

The demonstration of disrespect given to Rep. Norm Dicks as he generously accepted the invitation at the last minute to be the keynote speaker at the University of Washington commencement has to be one of the most egregious ever reported ["At graduation, the best and brightest (and wettest) jeer congressman," Local News, June 10].

In this current environment of higher education, where the current "entitlement" students whine about almost everything, and show similar disrespect for faculty, this seems an extension of that selfish behavior.

To penalize the congressman because the weather wasn't perfect for the ceremony was childish. This wasn't a baseball game, but a solemn ceremony mixed with celebration. Too bad that a few missed that distinction.
