Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Politicians lose law school graduation as forum

The views of presidential candidate U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., are in big demand these days.

So are those of another likely presidential candidate, U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and those of U.S. Rep. John Murtha, D-Johnstown.

Their ideologies differ, but they have something in common when it comes to the Duquesne University Law School commencement in June: As politicians, all have been deemed “inappropriate” to serve as graduation speakers.
