Anyone choosing to visit The Australian Blogs Page will notice the title The Price of Free Speech immediately to the right of a picture of Janet Albrechtsen. Unfortunately, I have the melancholy duty to inform you that this is not, as I assumed, a laudable case of The Australian changing the name of Janet's blog in the interests of honest trading. Rather, it is a link to This rant on what Janet sees as the blatant hypocrisy of the global pinko-commo conspiracy as illustrated by the fact that Columbia university saw fit to allow Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to give a single speech there (following an introduction in which he is labelled a "petty and cruel dictator" by the president of Columbia University), while at a completely different university 3000 alumni signed a petition opposing Donald Rumsfeld's appointment to a fellowship at the Hoover Institution.
FOR SHAME!!!!!!!!!!
I may not be able to find, in her little tirade, what exactly her fucking point is but I will defend to the death her right to champion the right of right-wing columnists everywhere not to make any fucking sense at all. Vive le free speech!!!!!! Vive le Janet!!!!!

I left this comment (I am Chris of Brisbane Thu 27 Sep 07 (11:50am)):
Can you honestly not see any asymmetry between offering someone a microphone for one hour and offering someone a fellowship at the Hoover institution?
Also, loved the fair trading comment.
I left a comment along the same lines as the above post. Bastards didn't publish it.
