You're just trying to get detained now, to make some kind of point.

He looks great, he sounds great, and he favors comfortable shoes. What more could we ask for?

You're implying he's a lesbian?

Hey, the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran has to be authoritative yet humble. What happens under the chador stays under the chador.

I need to print up some "My president is Mahmoud Ahmadinejad" bumper stickers. That would go over well in my community.

Did Ahmadinejad direct Queens Boulevard?

I was trying to think of a Brown Bunny pun for the title, but decided to go with the Hitler angle.

Speaking of world leaders we're not supposed to like... a sign that bad things are afoot in the world. I'm watching Tuesday's Daily Show on TiVo, on which the guest was Pervez Musharraf, and thinking, "My, this man is articulate and reasonable."

Please, I'd like to live in a world again where I can unambiguously think that the president of Pakistan is a bad dude.

Come on, mrh, Musharraf is one of our closest allies and dearest friends, ever since he decided turning on the Taliban was wiser than getting his ass invaded.

Thanks for putting that up. Of course, not as cool as Stossel getting slapped, but still good.

This got me, about Ahmadinejad's wife:
"It would have been both un-Islamic and rude of me to approach her, so I watched as Mrs. Ahmadinejad made her way to a row of seats off in one corner behind the podium to wait for her husband’s speech. "

Even to say "Welcome to America, I'm glad that you came"? W/O any reference to the mineshaft? She had a bodyguard and everything.

And this struck me as the most hopeful thing in the article: "Mr. Ahmadinejad extolled the greatness of Iran, Iranians and Iranian society. “Americans are good people too,” he said, “but there’s a distance between our cultures."

But this scares me: “Two thousand Zionists want to rule the world. You can do it elsewhere,” he said, as if speaking directly to the mysterious 2,000, “but not in Iran. It’s impossible—it’s not doable.”

I didn't know so many people had signed the PNAC stuff (I kid!).
