I'll bet the Commencement Speaker Committee was exchanging high-fives and tossing down Zimas after coming up with Jonny Moseley. High achiever, good story, something of a rebel. And most importantly, after years of their picks getting protested and shouted at, they'd finally come up with someone Everyone Could Agree On.
Ha! Welcome to Berkeley! Jason Simon, head of the association that picked Moseley, woke up this morning to find campus relentlessly flyered with 'Attention: Class of 2002. DO YOU WANT JONNY MOSELEY TO BE YOUR COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER? IF NOT, VOICE YOUR OPINION LOUD AND CLEAR!' A list of e-mail addresses follows. Another flyer bemoans that Moseley isn't a 'political, cultural,' leader. A third undercuts that point by asking 'Why don't we have a Cal Olympian?' Double deductions for whoever put those two together: you're asking for two mutually exclusive things. Either your group wants Albright Redux or some Cal Grad with a medal. Make up your mind. Quelle bitchery. There's always someone who wants to taint a perfectly good Commencement Speaker. Probably the best thing to come out of this is next year's Selectors will shrug their shoulders and decide there's no point making decisions based on likelihood of getting protested. We've just demonstrated that Cal hates everyone.Email This Post! |
