8. I already voted for Maddow. . .BUT. . .I must say that after watching the commencement yesterday.. .
I was kind of disapointed that there was little substance to her speech. . .
I think she is absolutely fantastic on TV. . .And I love her!

But. . .yesterday her speech was long in details that were not that "intersting" or "inspiring," And short on substance!

It seemed that she spent half her time "leading" to something, or filling time. . .and then she basically said: "personal glory is not that important, and can lead you to be remembered for the wrong reason!"
I do not think that the students were that impressed either!

But I still love her, and can't wait to see and hear her in her "natural environment!"

13. Maddow, But....
Rachel is far more intelligent and worthwhile, that goes without saying.

But the idea that some mainstream school would bring Beck onto a podium in front of non pre-screened, ya know, normal people and not Fox's demented worshipers of Die Partei Republikkkanische, is pretty enticing. As in bottles, cans, tomatoes, missiles......

16. Liberty U is a fake school anyway...
Seems appropriate a fake person should speak at commencement.

Maddow is winning:)

21. My MST3K treatment of Beck's speech is almost amusing enough to overcome the nausea induced.
Edited on Mon May-17-10 06:39 PM by Greyskye
Too bad it's only in my head. :D

On edit:
That's 30 minutes of those students lives they'll never get back.

22. Beck: "Respect others. Know that they are most likely afraid, just like you."
Edited on Mon May-17-10 07:05 PM by Greyskye
(Beck, aprox. 22 minutes in, continued...)
"In fact the more arrogant, and the more forceful they become; I have found the more afraid they really are."

Gee Glenn, project much? :eyes:

23. Beck: "Anyone that wants to take your choice away is evil!"
(Unless you choose to do something that God and Beckerhead don't approve of. In which case you deciding to make that choice is really what's evil.)

I wasn't kidding when I said earlier that Beck is nausea inducing. This commencement speech is all over the place. It sounds like he wrote it in 30 minutes on a stack of 3x5 cards, which he dropped and got out of order right before he started speaking. It yo-yo's between him telling them that devoting their lives to God is the only important thing, and then saying "but remember, no pain, no gain!". Really. He actually said it. 25:30ish. And then goes on with even more tired cliches.

I have to keep taking breaks from this, or the stupidity radiating from the screen will cause my eyes to melt.

Nov 2004, say around midnight, when refreshing my browser suddenly brought about a flip in voting results.

30. Beck is a lying, crocodile tear blubbering psychotic breakdown - you'd have to be that yourself...
To want to hear him *in any* venue - that phony routine at Liberty U :eyes: was one of the most embarrassing things to watch, its a good thing the faculty & student body at Liberty U have no shame

36. You can vote numerous times or set a computer script to do it
Not worth the time to set up a script for a blog with no readers

37. true, this is like masturbating into a hanky and then asking the hanky if it loves you

waste of time, although it might feel good doing it at the time
