The University of Massachusetts at Amherst may have given former White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card an honorary degree, but students and faculty had other ideas. As he was awarded the degree, the crowd booed him, along with some faculty on the stage, managing to drown out the Chancellor's presentation.
From The Huffington Post:
AMHERST, Mass. — President Bush's former chief of staff Andrew Card was loudly booed by hundreds of students and faculty members as he rose to accept an honorary degree at the University of Massachusetts on Friday.
The boos and catcalls _ including those from faculty members who stood onstage with Card _ drowned out Provost Charlena Seymour's remarks as she awarded the honorary doctorate in public service. Protesters claim Card lied to the American people in the early days of the Iraq war and should not have been honored at the graduate student commencement.
Card smiled slightly while Seymour spoke and raised his hand in thanks, then sat down without speaking.
What the &%@# was he smiling at? He knew he didn't deserve the degree. He has no honor and does not deserve a graduate degree in anything other than destroying the Constitution. He recently made the news again when James Comey testified that Card went to John Ashcroft's hospital bedside to manipulate him into approving illegal wiretapping. Andrew Card is a sinister human being that should be in jail for his crimes, not given a bullshit degree from any University.
