"Come on, Man. This Affects All of us"

A commentator in the thread below asks for a discussion on the nominations for the faculty graduation speaker. The nominees are:

1. b*rring
2. m*rphy
3. m*rray
4. s*lansky
5. s*ift

They're all fantastic. They're all funny. And they're all worth hearing. Nominating speakers is tricky business, however. Success depends not only on whether students like the person or what they have to say, but also how well they will deliver that message. Case in point: last year's speaker.

I actually submitted a vote for John Yoo - think about it: he's funny, non-confrontatinal, and pretty much the star of Boalt's annual gradation ceremony anyway - but I see he didn't make the list. I won't say who on the list I did end up giving my vote to, but feel free to speculate to your heart's content in the comments.
