I did not return to my alma mater to hear Hillary Rodham Clinton deliver her commencement address to the Wellesley Class of 2017. Nor did I – in the manner of my more liberal alumnae friends here on the West Coast – opt to rise very early on the morning of Friday, May 26 to catch a live broadcast of it........ Whether she is running for office or from humiliation, returning to the bosom of Wellesley has always been a win-win situation for Hillary.
Wellesley's new president, Paula Johnson, introduced Hillary as a woman who has always made the impossible possible. The opposite has more generally been the case. And the clearest example was Election 2016, when all signs pointed to the real possibility of her being the first female president of our country. Then came the impossibility – and the search for scapegoats ever since.
Hillary's longtime bond with her alma mater is perhaps best understood by parallels in her last and first commencement speeches. I was in the audience all those years ago when then-Hillary Rodham represented her graduating class by delivering a searing – and highly embarrassing – indictment of the commencement speaker, Senator Edward Brooke of Massachusetts.
Brooke, a self-made man, a decorated war hero, and the first black U.S. senator popularly elected to the United States Senate since Reconstruction days, had been invited by the College to deliver that year's commencement address. None of this mattered to the student spokesperson, because Brooke was also a Republican. Hillary dissed the gentlemen and dismissed his vision of the world............. And she is still determined to drive over anyone who gets in her way..............
