WSU Prank Legit (WA Gov Pranked)

WSU Prank Legit

WSU graduate Matt Nelson offered Huckleberries Online proof that the prank pulled on Gov-for-Now Christine Gregoire by the Accounting college during graduation ceremonies last weekend.

In the first photo, you see some of the letters on the top of the graduation caps worn by accounting graduates spell: "A-C-C-O-U-N-T-I-N-G":

In the second photo, with Gov. Christine Gregoire delivering her commencement speech, you see an "A" added and a "C" subtracted and the letters scrambled to reveal what 11 WSUers think about Gregoire's controversial election victory over Repub Dino Rossi: "C-O-U-N-T A-G-A-I-N."

And in the final photo, you see the letters scrambled as the accounting grads make their way to the stage to receive their diplomas, proving that the episode wasn't an online prank, as some believe, but really happened:

And you can find clearer photos of the prank here.

Big Time Hat Tap: Matt Nelson for the story behind the prank and providing the photos.

Well, they can spell.

4 years of "English major" seems to produce mush-brained illiterates. Go figure.

I am glad they did this after receiving their diplomas. If they had done it before they would have been expelled.

Considering this is Washington and not Idaho, I believe you are correct!

Man, how cool is that!

I'm a WSU grad. Nice to see us do something right for a change.

We keep having these Dems as commencement speakers though. When I graduated, I had to sit through a Maria Cantwell speech.

Speaking of Cantwell, one of the most fun things I did at WSU was with the College R's. We went to a rally Cantwell had there and held up signs. Mine read:

There are some things money can't buy. For everything else, there's Maria Cantwell (Maria Cantwell's name in master card colors.)

That was great.

I know. English majors wouldn't be able to express themselves this way. They'd have to throw pies.
