An apology is in order!  —  Silly, Silly Man!  —  Those who sharply criticized Columbia University School of International and Public Affairs President Lee C. Bollinger for inviting Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to speak owe him a galaxy sized apology.  You know who you are so I'm not naming names/blogs/media outlets.

Clinton campaign kills negative story  —  Early this summer, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign for president learned that the men's magazine GQ was working on a story the campaign was sure to hate: an account of infighting in Hillaryland.  —  So Clinton's aides pulled a page from the book …

Podhoretz secretly urged Bush to bomb Iran  —  President Bush and Karl Rove sat listening to Norman Podhoretz for roughly 45 minutes at the White House as the patriarch of neoconservatism argued that the United States should bomb Iran's nuclear facilities.  —  The meeting was not on the president's public schedule.

Ezra Klein:
Fearful Nation  —  I genuinely don't understand the quaking fear over Ahmadinejad's interview at Columbia.  When did America become so weak, so insecure, that we mistrust our capacity to converse with potentially hostile world leaders?  Do we really believe the president of Columbia …
Lisa Schiffren / The Corner:
Eyewitness to Nonsense  —  Just came from the Columbia campus, where a shocking number of my classmates skipped out on discussion section to go watch the show.  In the SIPA lobby I joined a hundred and some other people watching Bollinger on closed circuit TV.

Paul Krugman:
Bubba Isn't Who You Think  —  Since I've just published an op-ed about the enduring influence of race on Southern voting, I'm sure to be accused of being a typical Northeastern snob talking about poor white trash who don't know what's good for them.  So I thought I'd mention an important point …
Faiz / Think Progress:

Jon Healey / L.A. Times:
MoveOn.org's thin skin  —  MoveOn.org's excessively discounted broadside against General David Petraeus in the New York Times two weeks ago won't rank as its most successful tactic.  The full-page nastygram appears not only to have solidified Republican opposition in the Senate for proposals …
