Graduation Season Kicks Off: John Boehner's Commencement Speech

It's graduation season now on college campuses across the country as robes and mortarboards and the unmistakable strains of "Pomp and Circumstance" take over.  Well, it's nice to forget that mere days before, a significant portion of those soon-to-be dignified college graduates were busy being drunken idiots and layabouts.  But hey!  It's graduation time!  

And that means commencement speeches from luminaries of one type or another.  Sometimes the speeches are forgettable bits of nonsense.  But sometimes, if you're lucky, you get a speech actually worth listening to -- like this one extolling the virtues of humility, patience, and faith, delivered by Speaker of the House John Boehner of Ohio to the Class of 2011 of Catholic University.  Kudos, sir.
