The Yaliban

Deroy Murdock continues his quest to become my favorite opinion columnist:

Hashemi has generated headlines since it emerged that Yale admitted this former adviser to the notorious one-eyed Taliban leader, Mullah Mohammed Omar. As Yale officials stated, Hashemi got in — despite his fourth-grade education and high-school equivalency certificate — because "Universities are places that must strive to increase understanding." The Wall Street Journal's John Fund reports that Yale, which bars military recruiters and the ROTC, discounted Hashemi's tuition 35 to 40 percent.

Imagine if Yale had accepted German foreign minister Joachim von Ribbentrop's top aide in 1942 to "increase understanding" of Nazism. Maybe Yale should add David Duke to the faculty to help students "increase understanding" of neo-Nazism.

This affair may show that "my enemy's enemy is my friend." Yale's politically correct administrators hate that reckless Texas cowboy George W. Bush (Yale, class of 1968). How better to smack him, while preening their liberal feathers like peacocks, than to welcome one of W's enemies?

Of course, Hashemi is not Bush's enemy, but America's.

This is an utter disgrace. I frankly didn't think the effete band of bespectacled and goateed sissies making up American academia could possibly sink any lower in their treason-toeing efforts to undermine the War on Terror.

I should have known they'd plumb deeper depths yet.

What next? Teaching the fine art of suicide bombing to the mind-numbed idiots enrolled in these seditious cesspools?
