The YouTube title of this video is "John Kerry hits puberty at MCLA 2008 Graduation Commencement". Before I watched, I couldn't figure out what the hell that was all about, but it didn't take long before it was obvious.

You've got to give the guy credit. His voice was barely recognizable, but still, his address was funny and smart, and most importantly, he didn't let the MCLA graduating class down.
My favorite bits between the congratulations and the advice:
"Last year Attorney General Martha Coakley was here, and before that, my good friend Ted Kennedy, and I couldn't believe the big name the school got as its first commencement speaker back in 1894, John McCain."
One more dig at the aging presidential candidate:
"You know, when you run for president now days, it's very tough, they ask you any kind of question in the world. And of course, the famous question is, 'boxers or briefs?' And I won't tell you what I said, but Barack Obama recently said, "Well, I wear both, because I look great in both." Then they asked John McCain, and he said, "Depends."
To be fair, the Senator added a few self-deprecating jabs. Thanks for the laugh, Senator. We hope you're feeling better and are back in full voice today. Chairing a Foreign Relations Committee hearing on Pakistan's FATA Challenge: Securing One of the World's Most Dangerous Areas is doubtless more effective when you don't sound like a 13 year old boy.
There are a whole lot of great photos of the event at iBerkshires.com. Check them out, and if you happen to live in Kentucky or Oregon, Happy Primary Day!
