New School grads booed, heckled, and otherwise brought shame upon themselves during the commencement speech of John McCain yesterday. Oh, and they also served McCain’s political interests–the scene of a bunch of young Manhattan liberals harassing the likely 2008 presidential candidate only increases his stock among conservatives. Here’s a report in the NYT:

The jeers, boos and insults flew, as caustic as any that angry New Yorkers have hurled inside Madison Square Garden. The objects of derision yesterday, however, were not the hapless New York Knicks, but Senator John McCain, the keynote speaker at the New School graduation, and his host, Bob Kerrey, the university president.

Also, on The Corner, Rich Lowry liveblogged the event.
