Well, so long as Columbia University seems dedicated to the notion of providing Ol’ Beady Eyes (OBE) a podium from whence to pontificate – and what with the student body’s well known tendency towards the madcap – I’d like to propose a way to make a real learning experience out of this:
Suppose we get one undergrad to dress up as a stone, and another to hide behind the stone wearing a kipo. When the moment’s right, the stone can call out, “O Muslim, there is a Jew hiding behind me; so kill him!”*
Whoo! That ought to present OBE with a conundrum!

Columbia University is the stone.
Maybe have Lee Bollenger to do the hiding… he’d look great in a kipo.
Perhaps we could have a reunion of sorts, have one of the former “Guests of the Ayatollah” en kipo.
Preferably one of the former Marine guests. Or several.
OBE, come on down!! Be OUR guest… 444 days worth.
Ya know, Jaimo, I really, really like that idea. It hits both my schadenfreude and irony buttons, I being one who enjoys it when people get what they ask for good and hard and preferably with a left-hand twist added for good measure.
Sadly, I suspect this would only make me feel good and would do nothing but increase his popularity at home, rooting for the home team being the default and all that.
Know what I’d prefer instead? I’d prefer nobody show up, or those who do start walking out in the middle of the speech, stifling yawns. Nothing takes the wind out of an idealogue’s sails like the discovery that nobody else cares.

Wonder if the campus police will have Tasers?
