Selected tweets about Washington Post sports columnist Michael Wilbon replacing former CNN correspondent Christiane Amanpour as commencement speaker at Northwestern’s graduation June 18.

@akhilak: Oh man. Christiane Amanpour no longer speaking at our commencement since she’s going to be out of the country. So depressing :(

@aminaelahi: i guess our original commencement speaker was an aman-poor choice.

@BenWBear: Much more excited about Wilbon. He’ll be better

@Bknox88: I LOVE CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR! Ever since they announced the speaker, I’ve been excited. Wilbon will be good; she would be amazing!

@Bknox88: I’m going to start a letter writing campaign to convince Christiane Amanpour to change her plans. Who’s with me?

@byroncheng: WHAT amanpour’s out?? =(

@kjkomaravalli: But…I was so looking forward to Amanpour at commencement!

@nickcarbone: Graduation just got a whole lot more boring because Amanpour skipped out on speaking…whaaaat??

@nshabeeb: My boy Mike Wilbon speaking at Northwestern commencement instead of Christiane Amanpour

@nweldon: Wilbon for Commencement!!!!
