AHMADINEJAD HAS A BLOG?

August 16, 2006 8:49 AM

The New York Daily News liked our GOOD MORNING AMERICA INTERVIEW with former President Bill Clinton so much, it made it the cover….


Meanwhile, whilst your in the midst of reading this blog, did you know that nuke-hungry Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad HAS A BLOG OF HIS OWN ...

This is not a joke.

He spouts off on any number of issues in Farsi (translated into Arabic, French, and English) including the nose bleed he suffered during a university admissions exam, and an on-line poll: "Do you think that the US and Israeli intention and goal by attacking Lebanon is pulling the trigger for another word (sic) war?"

Shockingly, with more than 200,000 votes, that question is still a 49-51% toss-up!

Why on earth would Ahmadinejad get a blog? Same reason as BRITNEY, I suppose -- to talk unfiltered to the masses…Although sometimes a little filtering helps….

Word.

I saw the interview with Ahmadinejad on another network's Sunday evening news magazine and couldn't have been less impressed. Like any zealot, Ahmadinejad was less interested in answering questions and providing insight than in expounding (and expounding, and expounding) his limited point of view on the affairs of the world. The only subject which seems to fascinate him more than his continuous lecturing and hectoring of America is himself, admittedly a subject with which he has great familiarity. That Ahmadinejad has a blog is of vital import only if you're having trouble sleeping at night--read a little of that and I guarantee that you'll be asleep in no time.
