Donahue is awful

Mr. Pipes,
I just read Donahue's interview. Isn't it amazing that this guy and Pat Buchanan have shows on the same network that kicked off Alan Keyes?! I can't believe that Dabashi even made that childish crack about you being a "failed academic." I wonder whether he encourages his students to make personal attacks during political debates. Personally, I think the last time I made a childish, condescending, cheap remark during an argument was on a basketball court in first grade. I don't even address my classmates by name when I'm arguing with them. Totally unprofessional. Maybe he has a problem with you using the first amendment that he suppresses in his classroom.
