Those assholes...
Hoda Kotb came to N.O. and almost instantly became one of the most loved people in the city. She got involved in everything, did a ton of charity work and truly became a New Orleanian. Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, buying her own bottle of beer from the window at Ernest and standing on the sidewalk after work - she became a local.

It's sad that these kids only recognize her as a person sipping wine with Kathie Lee at 10 in the morning. The world could use a few more Hoda Kotbs.

They should get some single mother that started a small business as their speaker so they can be "inspired."

But, of course, the real reason the little shits are crying is because Beyonce isn't coming to town.

I had the head of the LSU Foundation talk about how we should give back to our University at mine.

If they wanted a better commencement speaker, they should have worked harder in high school so they could have been admitted to Stanford.

And Tulane wonders why nobody likes them.

It's shite like this.

Anyone graduate from LSU with me in spring 1993? Back then, LSU was protesting budget cuts, so they decided to make a political point by not having a big-time speaker at graduation. They literally got a preacher from down the road to do the commencement address. Years prior had Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, if I remember right. Sure, it felt like LSU didn't put in any effort into it, because they really didn't that year. But so what? We got our degrees and went home, celebrated with family. Which is what really matters.

Not one of these Tulane pricks would be able to tell you anything about what their commencement speaker said, 25 years from now... regardless of how inspirational he or she was.

Hoda should tell them, thanks, but no thanks.

I don't even remember who spoke at mine. Does any body really care? Get the diploma, let parents see you walk, that's the whole point

Her current show definitely doesn't show who she is and where she came from. I get the hate for her show as I think it displays a lot of what is wrong with America, but she still is a woman to be admired. All those students would talk about dumb shite on tv like she does for the paycheck she gets now.

An Air Force General at undergrad commencement and Gov. Jimmy Davis for the next one. Both were surprisingly good. Wonder what the SJW crowd would do if faced with Davis as a speaker?

I think our was James Carville in December. Hence no plans to attend. I had heard his stories too many times already.

"So I get home from mah first semester at LSU and I had four Fs and one C and mah daddy said, I think you put too much effort in that one class! Heh heh heh!"

I hope this pisses off Hoda and she gives them an angry speech about having to bust your arse for everything you get as opposed to having shite handed to you because you whine.

It's funny you mention this. I am willing to bet that most if not all of those bitching have no idea she is muslim. If they knew, they would never protest her. Ever.

Oh they would. Tulane's nickname has always been Jewlane.
