AhmadineÂjad’s recent appearÂance at ColumÂbia UniÂverÂsiÂty genÂerÂatÂed a lot of seriÂous press (watch his speech here), and, quite rightÂly, jourÂnalÂists and comÂmenÂtaÂtors seized on his more outÂlandish asserÂtions — that the HoloÂcaust is not a hisÂtorÂiÂcal givÂen, and that homoÂsexÂuÂals actuÂalÂly don’t exist in Iran. After all of the seriÂous reportÂing was done, SatÂurÂday Night Live got to work and aired this clip that conÂtinÂued its traÂdiÂtion of bitÂing politÂiÂcal satire. Here it goes:

MusÂlims Against Sharia conÂdemn, in the strongest posÂsiÂble terms, the deciÂsion of ColumÂbia UniÂverÂsiÂty to proÂvide a speakÂing venue for MahÂmoud AhmadineÂjad. ApparÂentÂly letÂting Akbar RafÂsanÂjani speak at the NationÂal CatheÂdral was not the height of AmerÂiÂcan DhimÂmiÂtude, because proÂvidÂing a venue for the world’s foreÂmost anti-SemiÂte, whose proÂclaimed goal is the destrucÂtion of the USA and Israel, defÂiÂniteÂly takes the cake. What is surÂprisÂing is that we don’t hear any comÂplaints from ColumÂbia alumÂni who should be ashamed of their silence.
