LOL!

Yikes! I saw "Mississippi College" in the title and just about choked!

Mississippi College, as opposed to Tougaloo, is a Baptist school.

I'd be extremely surprised if the Dean and faculty of Mississippi College let the rapist within 100 miles of it.

I read the headline and almost croaked. Mississippi College is a Baptist college in Clinton, Miss. If they were inviting Clinton to speak, I figured we were now in an alternate universe and ready for Doomsday.

The headline meant Mississsippi college in a generic sense. Sad enough, but not yet Doomsday.

You and I came up with the same "choke". Heh, heh.

ME TOO!!! Talk about shoddy headline-writing!

[dixiechick2000]

Can you imagine a bunch of Southern Baptists having the Perverted One speak to their children?

I, actually, had to laugh at that thought.

That would make a good Onion article!

[dixiechick2000]

LOL! Excellent!

Y'know, if I had waited just one semester longer to graduate from grad. school, I would have had the "honor" of receiving my diploma from the then-President of the USA Bill "The Bent One" Clinton.

I'm so glad I graduated when I did. However, the picture of me shaking his hand would have been a nice conversation piece/object of ridicule. :-)

Last year's commencement speaker was former Clinton adviser Vernon Jordan

Maybe Bill Clinton and Vernon Jordan could do a tag-team commencement address in the future? At least, we'll know what the subject of that speech will be.

Remember what Jordan claimed he and Clinton talked about on the golf course? (Big Hint: It's a term for female genitalia, and it starts with a "P"!)

[dixiechick2000]

"...the picture of me shaking his hand would have been a nice conversation piece/object of ridicule. :-)"

LOL! I suspect it would have been a bit of both.

I'm glad you don't have to find out which would have been the dominate sentiment, though. ;o)

[dixiechick2000]

My cousin's daughter works in Vernon Jordan's law firm in D.C.

She's the family liberal. Lovely girl, but we laugh at her behind her back.;o)

[bourbon]

I'd be interested to know how much time Vernon Jordan actually spends working, as opposed to how much time he spends goofing around with his political buddies. My guess is he spends most of his time doing the latter. Any insights?

Yes, I can see how the headline ("Mississippi College") may have thrown anyone for a loop, but I wanted to use the original, no matter how confusing.

[dixiechick2000]

Since she understands how the family feels about her employer, she won't dish no dirt!

We are all hoping that she will mature soon, and see how wrongheaded she's been...maybe then she will enlighten us on these past few years in Vernon's den.

[dixiechick2000]

No worries...not your fault. You should always use the original headline.

I suspect some headline writer needs to go back to headline writing school, though.

[mountaineer]

they plan to put up large banners welcoming him

Will these do?

[wardaddy]

me three!!

He was at Syracuse University for their graduation last weekend. And the beast was in Morrisville and Cortland for theirs. I wouldn't go near them and I wouldn't want any child or grandchild of mine within hearing distance of these two cretens. Ugghhhh.

[bourbon]

BWHAAHAHAHAHAA!!

good one! I can almost see Slick stepping out of that limo.
