Sept. 21, 2007: Columbia University speech is on. Bloomberg News service apparently confused last year’s cancellation by Columbia of Ahmadinejad with this year. The Monday afternoon speech is on – and has been cleverely scheduled to correspond with the main anti-Ahmadinejad demonstration at UN Plaza in New York organized by the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations. Newt Gingrich revealed on FoxNews this morning that the New York Times editorial board will host Ahmadinejad for lunch at the Four Seasons hotel on Monday. “That is like hosting Adolf Hitler to lunch in 1940,” said Dave Bossie of Citizens United.

UPDATE: Apparently the Four Seasons thing is a joke.
