Looks like Shrub and his Stepford woman have better things to do. Probably playing Hungry Hungry Hippos.

4. Yup

El Presidente will never appear before the American public, only before hand-picked audiences.

2. If I were in his place...

Edited on Fri May-07-04 11:47 AM by JHB

...aside from having a sane budget, no war in Iraq, and possibly still having the Twin Towers, I'd set up cameras at the graduation and have a direct feed to some place off-campus that I'd rented for the occasion (did I mention that "in his place" includes "had his money"?), so that I could "be there" as much as possible without putting the whole graduating class and their guests through a security wringer, and then have an after-graduation celebration at the rented place.

Of course, that's from someone who values education, and thinks it's worth celebrating.

3. really, it is better

than turning a graduation into a zoo and taking the focus off of the students.

5. Yes one of the most important events in any childs life and Bush*

choses not to attend. Even if I were to by your position that Bush* would cause a disruption so it's better he not attend why would Laura not want to attend? She certainly wouldn't cause such a commotion. I just think they aren't very good parents and don't really care about anything except themselves.
