Past Notre Dame Speakers

Well, well, well, as another Cardinal's hat gets red with rage over the very idea that the President and his plan on using embryonic cells for research instead of tossing them into the garbage -- just like a real person.

But let us remember Notre Dame's rich history of commencement speakers. Not just eight prior Presidents. But pro-choice Democrats like Patrick Moynihan. And I'm sure the right-wing would now be aghast to learn Chief Justice Earl Warren spoke at Notre Dame in 1957.

And then there is the holiest of men in act and deed, J. Edgar Hoover, who in 1942 was free to -- for once -- wear a gown in public.

Yes, though the Tears of Touchdown Jesus fill the quad now, somehow all these worthies were allowed to speak at Notre Dame University.

Go fuckin' figure.
