    Mark Bur's speech deserves greater mention than a few words. His speech was incredible,and I venture to say, even better than Colbert's! I hope the University will post a transcript on the homepage. The delivery was excellent.

    Colbert needs to get his sources verified before making such reckless comments about India's 'Father of the Nation'. Knowing how patriotic Indians are, it won't be long before some Indian political party is provoked by this and raises a hullabaloo. For the record, it was a former prime minister Morarji Desai and not Gandhi who practiced urine therapy"

    it's a satire! he's making fun of people who actually think like that. watch the colbert report and then look at the speech and you'll understand.

    I don't think Colbert was that funny. Mark Bur's speech, in my opinion, was much better.

    Well, they got 1:06 of Class Day posted on the web, but you'll never guess whose speech is not included. Guess it will have to be on Pay-for-View. Ugh.

    Stephen Colbert for Vice President-- in both parties! He's rested, tanned, and ready. A uniter, not a divider.
