Statistical Report Purporting to Show Rigged Iranian Election Is FlawedLike most Americans, there are few things I would like to see more than Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran's hateful President, to be voted out of office. Elections in thuggish, authoritarian states like Iran need be treated with the utmost skepticism and scrutiny. I can't say I have any ( Read more... )

Is anyone watching this press conf on cnn?

YES. What the fuck at him answering Christiane Amanpour's question about reformers arrested with that "traffic violations coming out of a soccer game" bullshit. Wow, he seriously has NO SHAME.

cindel June 14 2009, 12:14:44 UTC

I KNOW!! They're "being fined for violating traffic rules". Give me a fucking break.

He is the Iranian Sarah Palin.

No fucking shame. Seriously... they both talk as if they know what they're talking about... hell he even sounds like her in Persian. Except he presumably has balls.

AND like her looks all innocuous and nice! I was looking at pictures of him and Mir-Hossein Mousavi, and thought that if you didn't know them, and you said "which is the uber conservative overlord and which the moderate" most people would pick Ahmadinejad as the latter. Young, nice face, no beard...

Oh, I've always thought Ahmadinejad has a deceptively kindly look to him. He has a face that looks gentle and friendly, and he dresses like an old grandpa from Miami Beach. Seriously, my 85 year old grandpa in South Florida dresses exactly like Ahmadinejad's ensemble today when he goes to church on Sundays.

I read that he doesn't wear ties because he considers them a symbol of Western decadence.

Someone needs to gif that "bitch please" look Christiane is giving him. Gods I love her.

screamingintune June 14 2009, 15:58:54 UTC

ME TOO. She is so damned fierce. One of the few true journalists on cable news.
