Hundreds Boo Former Bush Chief of Staff (Video)

I guess Bush and Cheney won't be speaking at the University of Massachusetts. But the hostile reception given to Andrew Card (see video below) is exactly the kind of reception which Paul Krugman argues should be given to all the loyal Bushies.

University of Massachusetts, Amherst Students and Faculty Say LOUDLY: No Honor for Andrew Card:

"Andrew Card, President George W. Bush's former Chief of Staff, was showered with a chorus of boos and catcalls from students and faculty of the University of Massachusetts while receiving an honorary degree Friday. Protesters, who caught the embarrassing scene on video, attached anti-Card signs to their robes and drowned out Provost Charlena Seymour's remarks about Card's "public service." Even faculty sitting on stage joined in on the action, screaming their disapproval while holding signs that read 'Card: No Honor, No Degree.'"

"Card, obviously shaken by the commotion, managed a slight grin while Seymour spoke."
