NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) ―
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton made a surprise return to her alma mater on Monday, picking up an honorary degree from Yale University 36 years after earning her law degree from the Ivy League school.
Graduates celebrating commencement at Yale erupted in cheers as Clinton was introduced. In keeping with Yale tradition, the names of honorary degree recipients are a closely held secret, although word began trickling out Sunday of Clinton's participation.
None of the 10 honorary degree recipients spoke during the morning ceremony held for the university at large, where Yale handed out 2,868 undergraduate and graduate degrees. It was the school's 308th commencement ceremony.

Uhhhhhh....a question from the back of the class:
Why does she need an honorary degree if she already has an authentic one?

I am glad she’s doing something important, not something trival like North Korea. ***eyes roll**

I haven't done anything either to deserve an Honorary Degree. Attn the Deans of Notre Dame & Yale: I'm entitled to one, too.
In the Age of Obama, my mantra is "GimmeGimmeGimme".
