Batshit Crazy Dictator In NY, Today's Version

Two random and somewhat conflicting thoughts:

* I never really got the outrage about Ahmadinejad wanting to lay a wreath at Ground Zero. Yes, he's a Fascistic Asshole, but he's Today's Fascistic Asshole. It's not as if he were the one who ordered 9/11, and the outrage of the day expressed by pundits and politicians seems to be conflating the two. We can keep the concepts separate, fellas, and him laying wreath at the site isn't sacrilegious.

* That said, I don't understand WTF Columbia is doing inviting him to speak while he's slumming in town. Yes, I hear all the stuff about academic freedom, fine, fine. But remember, Columbia, that you're affirmatively giving this twit a platform and some degree of legitimacy by doing so. That's stupid. Stop it.

Uh, carry on.
