Mr. Elbow Care politicizes graduation speech

We have to wait another 5 years to defeat this hack?

When bubble gum connoisseur Mitch "Howdy Doody" McConnell was invited to give the commencement address at the University of Louisville's law school, most grads didn't expect him to have the audacity to turn the event into a partisan speech.

Maybe university officials did, and maybe they invited him for that reason. Kentucky's higher education system has been known in recent years for political favoritism benefiting the right wing. But that's another matter entirely.

Politicize the graduation McConnell did.

During the commencement speech, Mitch the Glitch didn't congratulate the grads. Instead he blasted political opponents for closing Guantanamo Bay and for allegedly mishandling the swine flu outbreak. (Incidentally, swine flu was caused more by the Bush regime's inaction and by the deregulation of factory farms than anything.)

Many students were so outraged by McConnell using their law school graduation as a platform for his right-wing views that they almost walked out.

Now the final school memory for University of Louisville law school grads will be Mitch McConnell ruining their graduation. What an idiot.

Whether a graduate ends up working in the law field or not, they'll likely be at McConnell's mercy. In Kentucky, the arrogant McConnell machine operates with few limits. Many Kentuckians can attest to being passed over for jobs because of their party affiliation, and at least one business has been ruined because it wouldn't support McConnell's agenda.

And now Howdy's hackery has reached new highs.
