yes, hank-- speak it loud

from radar:

"I do not oppose his speaking; I oppose its sponsorship by Columbia University."—Henry Kissinger, former Secretary of State

oh, yes. brilliant. henry fucking kissinger has moral objections to columbia letting ahmadinejad speak. of course, b/c as we all know, if there's a paragon of morality to which we all must aspire, it is henry kissinger. henry kissinger, a man responsible for the deaths of thousands. i so totally care what henry kissinger finds ethically questionable. don't you? this is like heinrich himmler objecting to tom metzger* appearing at bob jones university.

and yet, in the cult of political personality, it's all rather par for the course, isn't it?

*metzger is a "charming" white racist who has been known to utter gems such as, "hitler was too liberal!" and "gas 'em all!"
