OPEN MOUTH, INSERT FOOT

In his Washington Times commentary “The Rumsfeld horripilation” R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr. was doing just fine defending Mr. Rumsfeld until the ninth paragraph:

Is the thing possible? Do the likes of Mr. Reid and Mrs. Pelosi think we are no better than the Iranian Islamofascists who whoop it up for suicide bombers and are governed by a zany who looks like an eternal graduate student from one of our cow colleges?

As a graduate (BS, 1968; MS, 1973; PhD, 1978) of a “cow college,” I don’t know whether to demand an apology of Mr. Tyrrell or Ms. Pelosi and Mr. Reid, but I want to assure all three that an Iranian Islamofascist would have an easier time graduating with honors from Harvard or Yale than he would gaining admission to my alma mater).
