Benedictine nuns may protest Bush.

Benedictine nuns may protest Bush.

“Finding fine speaking venues at graduation is never easy for late-second-termers, as President Bush is learning. Whereas he once spoke at Ohio State or the University of Texas, now he’s left with Florida community colleges or small schools in rural areas that are run by former aides.”

But it looks as if it won’t be smooth sailing Friday, even when Bush speaks at Saint Vincent College, a small Benedictine school in Latrobe, Pa., run by Jim Towey, former head of the White House Office of Faith-Based Initiatives. (…)

Thirty current and former faculty members, in an open letter to Bush last week, said “in the spirit of Benedictine hospitality” they would “welcome” him to the campus “as we would any visitor” as 1,600 students graduate. And they said they will “welcome those who protest your visit” and hope the college doesn’t “turn them away” on Friday. (…)

Meanwhile, there are unconfirmed reports that Benedictine nuns from Erie may be going down to Latrobe to take part in some sort of protest.

1. WOW! It really has to be bad for Nuns to protest!
I mean...c'mon...NUNS! Overlooking their stern oversight in Catholic school, Nuns are pretty easy to get along with, and it would be hard to find more kind and loving people.

NUNS Protesting! Bush has really hit bottom.
