Sit Down, John!
McCain gets booed at the New School commencement address. Does it taste good, John?
Of course, New School president Bob Kerrey won't stand for this:
"You heard and saw two acts of bravery," the former senator said after the speeches of McCain and Rohe. "There will come a time when you will have to answer the question -- will you stand -- not heckling from an audience where no bravery is required -- but will you stand and say what you believe when you know that heckling and laughter and boos will arise?"
I think a more pertinent question would have been, "Will you be willing to throw away an 'unimportant' issue just to grab a vote from questionable sources?"
