So, Condeleeza Rice, former Secretary of State, as been removed from consideration as RUs commencement speaker. Apparently, she is being disqualified for her role in the assessment that Iraq had WMDs in the run up to the Iraq War. This is an opinion that was shared by all our major allies, as well as the Senate and House Intelligence Committees and the CIA. Was she wrong? It appears so, yet there are those who believe that Iraqs WMDs end up in Syria. Either way, to say she deliberately lied to the America people is a real stretch. Which brings us to our current president. We know he deliberately lied to the American people when he said they could keep their doctors and insurance plans. He was awarded the lie of the year by politifacts, Yet his invitation to speak at RU is still wide open. Matt Rooney nails the hypocrisy in this blog post. Remember, this is the school that paid Snooki $32,000 to spread her message of Study hard, but party harder. Poor Dr. Rice, despite checking most liberal boxes (a pro-choice, Ivy-league educated minority women with an extensive public service career and distinguished academic record), nevertheless fails to meet the most basic of all liberal tests: She’s not a Democrat. What other evidence do you need, folks? So let’s follow the RU faculty’s lead, quit pretending that the War on Women is anything other than a hallow partisan ploy. The real war is on your kids’ minds, folks. And you’re going into serious debt to pay for it, and all that you have to show for it is a seriously-devalued scrap of paper for an unmarketable major in a jobless economy.
