BollingerCover-copy.jpgJust when you thought Columbia University was supposed to represent a beacon of intelligence and wisdom, President Lee C. Bollinger couldn’t even get his basic political science assumptions correct when insulting addressing his invited guest speaker President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. In a cowardly PR move to cover his ass and placate “his base” amidst a firestorm of controversy—mostly from the super Jews—the academic referred to the Iranian Prez as a “petty dictator” in a rambling diatribe before the guy even got to the mic. The President of Iran may be lots of things—Jew hater, tyrant, homophobe, screwy—but he’s hardly a dictator. Like, not even close to the most elementary definition: a person exercising absolute power, esp. a ruler who has absolute, unrestricted control in a government without hereditary succession. That ain’t how it works in Iran, we knew that and we’re CUNY educated.
