Mahmoud the loud moud
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian honcho whose name is bigger than his person. wowed the crowd at Columbia University with his convoluted take on historical events such as the Holocaust and 9/11. According to him, the first never happened and the second sort of happened, but the players weren't clearly defined and it was more than likely a CIA set up to embarrass innocent Islamic holy warriors. Well, that may not be exactly the way he told it, but it was no less an idiotic expression of how his mind works. Try as I might, nothing comes to mind as to why the University would have
allowed this psychotic little twerp to spew his paranoia on center stage with the whole world looking on in disbelief. Freedom of speech took a bad hit in this turn at bat. It was more like Freedom to Screech. If anybody expected Mahmoud to use his time on the podium to call for reconciliation and peaceful dialogue with the United states, they were really 'whistling Dixie' big time. It turned out to be a full monte photo op and a Barnum Baily freak show for the little despot to strut his stuff. They should have thrown the bum out ,along with the bums who 'brung' him.
