Because Beth Asked
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is in New York City.
I fail to see why everyone is so worked up about it. Seriously, if *I* went to Columbia...
(you just totally spit out your coffee, didn't you?)
...I wouldn't protest. I'd show the guy around.
Brother wants to blend in and do the tourist thing. Just like any other Middle Eastern fanatic. Eat some pizza and see Spamalot. Maybe pick up a purse on Canal St. for the Mrs.
Oh, and visit ground zero to spit on our sorrow.
If he can pull himself away from those cupcakes at Magnolia.
Best part of his speech wasn't when he denied the Holocaust.
It was when he denied there are homosexuals in Iran.
Quality stuff. Sounds like my neighbor Tom, extremely effeminite Youth Pastor of He Will Rise to Smite You.
"...we don't have homosexuals... I don't know who's told you that we have this."
The "petty and cruel dictator" has probably never been so publicly challenged. Too bad he didn't have time to get into how frogs don't cause warts, Iranian President's wives are scientifically shown to always have headaches at hump-hump time, some camels are quite attractive, and the 2000 election was won by George Bush.
He responded as if humiliated and scorned. Sorta looked like Tommy Lee after Kid Rock got through with him.
Good.
Next year, I hope they invite Tucker Carlson.
I'll bring the popcorn.

Bring out the anonymous nut cases...
I love that the homosexuality issue was where the line was drawn. Not nukes. Not terrorism. Not the fact his country never apologized for, you know, invaded our embassy and took 52 hostages on for 444 days. Not even the holocaust really triggered as much passion as it should have.
But you fuck with "Will and Grace" in NYC and you've had it, pal. Nobody gets between them and their "Project Runway" marathons.
They probably would have beat him like a narc at a biker rally had he come out against sacred collegiate cows like illegal music downloads, taking X on a first date or Starbucks venti mochas.
Please excuse the garbled syntax. I was huffing straight Bosco when I accidently hit send.
Oh come on, where's your sense of humor? The guy has a load of wacky theories, his people are tiring of his nonsense, and his own handlers are endlessly embarrassed and trying to get him to soften the rhetoric.
I just don't buy him as the next Hitler.
And so getting him up in front of a hostile crowd (except, you know, when he defends those poor, defenseless Palestinians) and subject him to some scrutiny - I don't know - I kinda envy the Columbia pres. Must've felt good to tell the guy off.
In a dignified manner, so to speak.
I woulda told him to suck it.
I will carry the banner for the anon's - as proud as can be to be public like a frog and tell my name all day to an admiring bog.
I used to try to discuss ideas as an "anon", but without an identity, no one can grasp the details.
Sort of sad that some one can not retort "back to you and more of it" to an "anon".
Enough of the absurd and inane.
I hope Kate is right with her assessment. My fear is that when one is in a room of snakes, it's not the snake one is looking at that bites you. Ahmadinejad, in my opinion, is just one of the snakes.
I do agree that it is interesting that Ahmadinejad's political commentary did not receive as much response as his comments on gays. I assume that his comments about the women in his country must have been accepted at face value.
Given what he was saying, if I hadn't have looked up and saw it was Ahmadinejad on the TV I would have thought I was listening to the Democrat nominees debating.
