"...and let's get this party started" are the only words anyone ever hears at graduation.

Having said that, it figures she'd give a great speech. Rachel Maddow in heels?

like those kids from Parkland, doesn't she. Short but excellent speech. I went to school not far from there, but 20 years sooner.
