[...] face and speaking half-truths to power, will it qualify as a Colbert moment (good!) or a Bollinger moment [...]

And speaking of Columbia and Iran’s treatment of homosexuals, what ever happened with the noose incident? Haven’t they gotten around to looking at the tapes yet? Mr. Bollinger? Hello?

Bollinger was also wrong about “affirmative action” in law school admissions.

When speaking about Columbia University, it is important to remember that Lee Bollinger is a conservative by the standards of the Columbia faculty. Columbia is the home, not only to the left wing Professor Foner but to Rashid Khalidi who is head of the Mid East Department and Professor Massad of the Mid East Department. The MidEast department at Columbia should be changed to the Palestinian Department. And Columbia was the home for many years of Edward Said, the radical professor who posed for photographers throwing rocks toward Israelis. Said did this from the midst of a Hezbollah stronghold.
Actually, President Bollinger seems like a reasonably decent person. He was wrong about Ahmadinejad but in his discussions he is usually temperate and polite. I wish I could say the same for some of the other Columbia faculty members.

I’m grateful that our academic overlords will knight us into their graces if we only were to make Howard Zinn required reading.

Last week I remember seeing a story on Fox News that the Pope was planning a visit to NYC (and ground zero) next April.

My first thought was: Would he be welcome at Columbia U? Would he be asked to speak?

I think the answer would be No, and No.

Come to Columbia University where a course on stupidity is your’s for the asking.

Yes, we enroll the minds of mush and produce a mind of idiots where even in New Jersey you can vote no idiot or insane person shall enjoy the right of suffrage. Even now, you can marry a toaster!

Pssst! Hey prof’s, it’s the so called intellectuals they come after first , so stop trying to destroy yours and my rights and have some intellectual responsibility and less intellectual dishonesty.

Eric Foner, …. “This is the language of warfare at a time when the administration of our country is trying to whip up Iran, and to my mind is completely inaccurate.”

“Language of Warfare”. I like it.

Professor Fonet, how about we let our bombs do the talking? They send such a clear message to lunatics like Ahmadinjad.

And had Bollinger gone the other way……

Oh, and since when is (to borrow from the nutroots) “speaking truth to power” a bad thing?

Oh yeah, when it doesn’t put Bush, Republicans or conservative ideals in a bad light.
