Had they the brains dog gave a goat they’d have replaced him with Patrick Conroy (ex-House Chaplain).
Seriously the woman who owns the WWE giving the commencement at a Catholic University?
I’m sure she will inspire the grads with her exemplary values. 
The less great generation. Never much liked Brokaw and don’t really have a hard time believing this story.
With all that has been alleged against Brokaw, I think the graduates would be better served by hearing him than Linda McMahon.
The guy that invented WWII is being replaced by the woman who invented WWE?
Um, progress?
Hey, give Brokaw a break! Do you know how hard it is to have a career as a news anchor when you have a speech impediment?!
Assuming this is true, he came onto her, she said no, and he stopped.
Was he persistent? Apparently. Did he ever try to force her? Threaten her career? Anything?
Things have settled down, time to fire up the witch hunt again.
Fuck, even Cosby gets a trial.
So glad to see this pompous ass sent off to STFU land.
Oh spare us. You act like a guy who wields the sort of power that Brokaw did has to commit rape before being held accountable. I suspect that there are other women with similar stories who didn’t want to have their names used.
We just watched a Senator resign for what looked like horsing around. No reason Brokaw should be immune.
The times, they are a changing. Or so I hope.
You’re right, and Franken resigning over nothing was a complete disgrace.
If Brokaw was as all-powerful as you say, I wonder how she was able to evade him on all those occasions?
Linda co-owns the WWE and instead of going after that, folks should go after this
The footage of him ordering a woman to bark like a dog came up again this week in an interview with ABC’s Christiane Amanpour. McMahon punted to the First Amendment rights of viewers and then tacked on a defense of how WWE’s TV image has changed:
or the the idea that they named a battle royal after someone who isn’t loved by most fans or ex wrestlers
or that her son in law said that it wasn’t WWE’s best interests to dictate to the Saudis about gender equality…but that Saudi money, why not…
or why are WWE women wrestlers still getting cosmetic surgery
or that Nia Jax angle (which ironically involved Mickie James)
but anyhowww…
How pathetic. Sorry babe, it’s been 25 years. Too bad.
You’re practically raping her yourself!!!
I was less than thrilled to lose Franken over what looked like horsing around. But I have had enough experience dealing with creepy men in positions of power to have much sympathy for this guy. The “pompous ass” thing usually is part of the set that also includes harassment, which is just one form of bullying.
So now bullying equates to sexual harassment?
Get 'em, girl!
Actually they cause similar sensations when you’re on the receiving end. In case you hadn’t heard.
Well, being the kind of person who does this sort of thing all the time (after all, it’s not like bullies/rapists only bully/rape once) I’m sure more allegations will come out. Rather than trashing someone over one person’s accusations.
Her last name is McMahon. So, if I were a betting man, I would bet she is Catholic. Lapsed Catholic most probably…but hey…And my other bet…were I a betting man…is that the university in question, while not as blatantly political as Liberty University…run by a person whose only qualification is that he is the son of the Dixiecrat Segregationist pseudo religious founder …is probably a conservative GOP leaning place. And the GOP has pandered to what us Catholic Worker and Theology of Liberation Catholics or just Birth Control using Catholics would refer to as The John Paul II and Ratzinger and Cardinal Levada Catholics since about the time Reagan won his first election.
I read later on that she is on the board of the university. Not surprising she is playing clean up.
