Exactly — he accepted many months ago, probably late in 2007 (many leading universities arrange their commencement speaker at least 6 months in advance). He expected this to be a chance to be surrounded by adoring hot young women while he preened over the Clintonista return to the big stage.
Now that he is a permanent has-been and Hillary is no longer on track to be POTUS, he sees no reason to honor his commitment. With the Clintons it’s always “what’s in it for ME?”
Even though, as I said, anyone in the big league of commencement speakers knows these things are arranged many months in advance. Now UCLA gets to scramble to try to find someone fast......
Wonder if bubba was paid in advance and now the university will be trying to get their money back.
