BC Invites Yet Another Controversial Speaker

030508-mukasey.jpgYou'd think that Boston College would know to steer clear of controversy after the Condoleezza Rice Fiasco. But Boston College Law School invited Attorney General Michael Mukasey, who won't say that waterboarding is torture, to speak at their commencement, and not everyone is happy about it.

As a compromise, Mukasey will get to speak, but he won't get a Founder's Medal from BC.

Then again, it could have been worse. They could have invited Alberto Gonzales, and it's awfully hard to fill Gonzales' shoes when it comes to controversy and scandal. In fact, few people can even remember Mukasey's name, and that includes Fox 25's VB, who had trouble pulling it out of his hat when he was ready to talk about it this morning.
