Remember former Bush Chief of Staff Andrew Card? One of the Iraq War salesmen, does it seem likely that he would receive a HONORARY DEGREE in PUBLIC SERVICE?!? Honestly, the University of Massachusetts needs to withdraw the degree. Watch the protest at commencement here: Link

a problem from within
By Ashley Levine May 28th 2007 at 12:16 pm EDT
The problem with the University of Massachusetts system is that it has been stacked with Republican gurus set in place there over the last 16 years of Republican administrations on beacon hill. It will take a long time to reverse that. The UMASS system is a mess. I should know, I went to UMASS Boston for a few months last year before I left in protest.

he lobbied for the degree
By Ashley Levine May 28th 2007 at 12:19 pm EDT
According to the Boston Globe, aparantly Andrew Card lobbied for the degree at UMASS Amherst. Many were opposed to the idea, but Mr. Card played the dirty campaign that was banned in campaign finance laws wherein he took certain trustees to special trips, and the like in order to win them over. He represents everything that is ugly in politics.

I couldn't believe the guy actually showed up to accept the degree.
