From my local news radio station:

Stanford University officials are breathing a sigh of relief after learning last night that their commencement speaker will be allowed to attend Sunday’s graduation ceremony after all. Peru’s congress has voted to allow President Alejandro Toledo to attend Stanford’s commencement, where he’s slated to be the keynote speaker. However, Toledo cannot use his presidential plane and not spend any public funds on the trip. The trip comes at a difficult time for Toledo, whose popularity back home is just 11%. Toledo has strong ties to Stanford, where he earned a doctorate, two master’s degrees and where he met his wife.

Eleven! It's not even funny.

I wonder if Bush could beat him in an election there.
