TORRANCE, Calif. (AP) — There was far less pomp in these circumstances, but Bill Clinton did give a Southern California commencement speech this week.
A lingering labor dispute at UCLA kept the former president from giving a planned talk to thousands of graduates there Friday, but he spoke to all 26 eighth-grade graduates of Riviera Hall Lutheran School in Torrance on Thursday.
Clinton's nephew Tyler, son of his brother Roger, is a student at the school.
Clinton spoke for about 10 minutes in the school's chapel about the value of education and public service, making no mention of politics at the ceremony, which was closed to the media.
"It was great," said Geoff Guerrero, whose niece was a graduate. "It was like you were sitting in his living room, and he was talking to each of us individually."
Clinton's office said Tuesday he would not appear at UCLA because of a long-running rift between the University of California and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. The school said the decision to cancel the speech was mutual.
You read my mind!

If only they could wash their minds as well.....

I wonder if he talked about lessons in life, like don’t use cocaine like Roger and me.

Wasn't he in the middle of some scandals or am I thinking of Jimmy Carter's brother?
I thought Roger wasn’t paying his child support.
I FIGURED IT OUT! I bet he didn’t take an honorarium..but I’ll bet my life savings his nephew now gets to go there for free....am I correct, or am I correct?

I wonder if cigars were involved...
He just asked for their lunch money.
Well, remembering back how he took money from those bake sales from kids to apply to the debt, I imagine he might have gotten his hands on their lunch money.
An audience more suitable to his emotional development.
Wow. We were thinking right along the same lines.
