When someone sent an e-mail to Columbia University requesting a copy of a videotape of a 2003 farewell party for Rashid Khalidi, former PLO spokesman and dinner companion of Barack Obama, they witnessed some real douchebaggery.
The e-mail:

Subject: Please release Khalidi’s 2003 tapeDear Madam or Sir,
It has come to my attention that the LA Times in in possession of a tape recording a 2003 farewell party for Rashid Khalidi. In an article, the LA Times said:
“The event was videotaped, and a copy of the tape was obtained by The Times.”
This event was attended by Senator Barrack Obama. As this is an election period, as journalists, you have the moral obligation to release any and all information you possess about both candidates.
I would be grateful if you can release the videotape. It’s our right as Americans to learn about our candidates.
Cordially,
[redacted]
The response from Sidney Jackson, director of Marketing and Admissions for Columbia’s Business School fits perfectly into douchebag tradition.

Sounds like this douchebag should have his Blackberry privileges revoked along with his employment.
There must be some incriminating remarks by Obama on that tape OR it would have been released to stop all this speculation. We may find out what is on the tape after it is to late.

Let him know exactly what you think!!
Your stupidity knows no bounds, does it? Is this the same guy (Rashid Khalidi) to which John McCain’s foundation gave nearly $500,000?
Hmm, there must be something incriminating in that!
Oh, you’re right, it’s much more incriminating to attend a large dinner given to a person than it is to donate $500,000 to them. My bad!
