Jonah posted the video from Al Gore’s commencement address to the University of Tennessee over in the Corner, but here’s a firsthand account from a senior who actually sat through the entire thing. Her conclusion:

Near the end of his speech he made this comment:
” . . . and I’m excited about the fact that from this day forward, you’re going to be a part of all of the great work that our society is doing.”
I turned to my friend and said, “I will be a part of the great work of society, however, it’s not the type of work that he is going to like.” Standing up against lying buffoons like Al Gore and ensuring freedom and liberty for the next generation: that’s what I consider great work.
Following this event, the Board of Trustees of the University of Tennessee had this to say:
“‘Dr. Gore’ challenged us to rise up and solve the environmental crisis facing our world. He told the graduates that he was optimistic this could be accomplished and that they will be a part of this opportunity. It was an uplifting message and an honor for us all to have him deliver the commencement address.”
An uplifting message and honor? I don’t think so. Proven lies are not uplifting. Lies are lies. And there is nothing honorable about profiting from them.
Oh, and UT, don’t think about asking me for a donation next year. You still aren’t getting one.

Well said, and congratulations on your graduation.
