The visit

It turns out we needn't have worried about the visit of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Democrat from Tehran, to Columbia University. He was sandbagged by Lee Bollinger, the University president, who introduced him as a "petty and cruel dictator" who lacks "intellectual courage," has a "fanatical mindset," and may be "astonishingly undereducated."

Mahmoud survived that early onslaught by spouting Democrat talking points in response to questions from the students, until someone asked about homosexuals in Iran. His response, "In Iran, we don't have homosexuals, like in your country. We don't have that in our country. In Iran, we do not have this phenomenon. I don't know who's told you that we have it," drew laughter, because, in reality, homosexuality is an offense punishable by death in Iran. Of course, American Democrats pander to homosexuals (and everyone else) for their vote, so Mahmoud couldn't parrot that talking point.
