We are supposed to excuse Anita Dunn making Mao her favorite philosopher? "I was just kidding," she says. Really? You want to kid about a horrid dictator? Oh, for a joke, she sure knew to recite a lot of Mao's trials and tribulations in fighting his war. What a knee-slapping hoot of a joke!

Needless to say, there are dozens of great philosophers or motivational speakers to choose from if your desire is to highlight “being persistent” to graduates. It would be like praising Hitler because you are making a point about how great it is to have autobahns/superhighways. Hmmm. Rather poor choice IMHO.

While I am all for giving people the benefit of the doubt, this is a big stretch to say Dunn randomly chose Mao. Obama’s own...
