One very cool thing happened when he spoke today at Columbia University.
He got laughed at.
Bet that doesn't happen too often to him in Iran.
Seems he tried to tell the students that Iran doesn't have gay people and they weren't buying it.
There is a larger lesson here, and that is in this country, even in the Age of Bush, we will let a complete nutjob like Ahmadinejad say his piece.
I am sure of a couple of things:
1) The Iranians would never let Bush speak at a top level university in Tehran; and
2) If they had their way, those freedom-loving folks on the Right, such as Mitch McConnell and Joe Lieberman, would not have let Ahmadinejad speak.
Which shows that they have a lot more in common with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad than they care to admit.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
Actually, I think the Iranians *would* offer Bush the chance to speak at a top-ranked university in Iran. They do that kind of thing, oddly enough. Universities in Iran aren't exactly havens of free speech, but due to the necessities of academic rigor they are freer than most parts of Iranian society. Bush, however, wouldn't accept the invitation (he'd be too scared), so it would be a meaningless offer.
