He just guaranteed that he will never speak at another college commencement.

Pretty much. An oddball, an opportunist, and a nanny, i won’t miss him. Then again, now NY has William Wilhelm III Sandanista.

Holy crap - color me shocked - I just watched the whole video and pleasantly suprised at his candor in regards to campus conservative prejudice (CCP) today as well as how much applause he got.

He's still a nanny state advocate but at least in this instance, he's correct.

And yep - his point will have been proven when he no longer receives invitations to speak at these events.

I must be in a very fussy mood tonight (or this morning, as the case may be). WHY can’t the article mention at which Ivy League school he was speaking? I’d venture a guess at Columbia just because it’s in NYC.

One thing about Mikey: he’s given hundreds of millions of his own earned $$$ to his alma mater, Johns Hopkins and to other schools/hospitals as well. He practically donated a whole new children’s center at Hopkins and since they saved my son’s life there when all else had failed, it holds an especially warm spot in my heart.

Note that the 96% in academia don’t dispute this, and justify it for the simple reason that the intellectual elite are smarter, and have come to the same “correct” conclusions about political issues.
