From the Chicago Tribune:

Former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright is the latest big-name speaker to deliver the commencement address at Galesburg’s small Knox College.

The past three speakers were former President Bill Clinton, Comedy Central host Stephen Colbert and Illinois Senator Barack Obama.

Albright — who served under Clinton — took some jabs at the Bush administration during her speech Saturday.

She questioned why more hasn’t been done to stop genocide in Darfur, to safeguard the environment and to defeat terrorism. She also referred to a “lobotomized leadership.”
