Wouldn't You Just Love To Be A Fly On The Wall This Morning At The Barclay?

UPDATE: Congress today sent a strong message of disapproval to Ahmadinejad and the Iranian regime. More.

I would love to be a fly-on-the wall there. Know why?

Cause that's where Mr. Ahmadinejad is staying during his New York visit to the U.N. Mid-town. East side at 48th and Park. Far away from the killing fields and gallows of his own country.

Who knows how he feels this morning? Hung over? No real pun intended. Suppose any gays are working at the Barclay today, delivering him a room service breakfast in his suite? Will he refuse their service? Will they refuse to serve him? Ahh to be a fly on the wall at the Barclay today!

Think he's getting in touch with that infamous inner green glow for his appearance later today at the U.N.? How do you suppose he does it? Green eggs and ham?

Only the shadow knows.

Wesley Pruden, one of my favorite columnists, at the Washington Times, has a great wrap-up on yesterday's event at Columbia University. Don't miss it. It's titled "Getting Tough in the Ivy League." A highlight:

"Mr. Bollinger may have felt under pressure from rich alumni after his brazenly provocative and astonishingly uneducated remarks earlier about his eagerness to invite Hitler to speak on campus, if only der fuehrer were not still dead. But whatever the why and the wherefore, he gave Mr. Ahmadinejad ample reason to wish that he had slept late in his suite at the Barclay. Such contempt is usually heard in the Ivy League only for George Bush, soldiers, Israel, churchgoing Christians and others with whom they have differences of opinion.

President Bush, smarting from the diplomatic necessity to allow Mr. Ahmadinejad into the United States, applauded the outcome at Columbia. His appearance on Morningside Heights "speaks volumes about the greatness of America," and if Professor Bollinger considers Mr. Ahmadinejad's visit an educational experience, "I guess it's OK with me.'"

Who would have thought anyone in the Ivy League could be tough either in football or on terrorism? I mean they specialize in grinding out nice eastern elite, intelligentsia types. Nice guys who know how to have fun even if they're seated at a dinner party between Arthur Sulzberg and James Dobson. Nice guys who make sure a good time is had by all.

Well, color me impressed. Nice eastern elites can be pugnacious? What a world!

And yes, I know where President Bush went to school. I'm mostly being silly here......mostly, not totally, that is. But I'd still like to be a fly on the wall today at the Barclay.
