Crass Political Move of the week

Ok, one of the crass political moves of the week.

OSU is really outdoing itself with another celebrity figure! This looks even more pathetic than when OSU had Nixon speak at commencement back in the 70s. Anyone remember that? Did not go so well for ol' Tricky Dick as I recall. Our pal... wait that's Dick... what? Oh yeah, right! The so-called president Bush will deliver the commencement address May 6 at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, the White House announced the other day.

Bush will speak at four colleges this year, including a community college hit by Hurricane Katrina: May 11 at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College... can we all say "photo op?" Of course this whitest of houses did not do so well with Dick throwing out that lame ball at the Nationals game. Bush will also speak at the U.S. Military Academy on May 27 in West Point, N.Y. -- friendly audience? And going for another friendly audience, his Bushness will speak (if we can call it that) on June 19 at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy.

Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College suffered millions of dollars in damage and lost a quarter of its student enrollment after Katrina. Wonder if Bush is planning to do a little remedial work?
