Ahmadinejad Tapped to Replace John H. Coatsworth as Dean of Columbia's SIPA?
Back in May, President Lee C. "Stinky" Bollinger asked them find someone capable of replacing Lisa Anderson as dean of the School of International and Public Affairs. The post, sometimes referred to on campus as the Dean of Pandering to Islamic Fascists, was handed on an interim basis to John H. Coatsworth, a relatively recent newcomer to campus.

Coatsworth is 67 and an expert on Latin America. So what does he do shortly after being named Acting Dean in May 2007? He joins Professor Richard W. Bulliet in wooing Iranian Dictator Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to campus. President Bollinger heaps praise on both Coatsworth and Bulliet, as if getting a madman to speak about hate on the campus of an Ivy League school is something to boast about.
Okay. Coatsworth has had his 15 minutes in the limelight. He even went on Fox News and pined for the opportunity to have Adolph Hitler speak at Columbia,( if only the poor fellow hadn't succumbed years ago to the Zionist menace).
Oh how Columbia longs for the good old days when those pesky, irritant Jews weren't allowed to enroll or at least were shunted to a satellite campus.
So Brinkley and The Dirkster, what about it?
Why not conclude your international search to replace Coatsworth sooner than later? Having allowed him to test the waters, and noting that he is a teacher, why not offer the post to Ahmadinejad himself? A-Jad is only 51. He hates George Bush. He knows the Middle East very well. The Columbia students seemed to like him. And now that he has officially abandoned his nuclear program -- (and I'm the tooth ferry) -- he's got extra time on his hands.
A perfect match. Dean Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Think of the additional honor it will bring Columbia.
