(IsraelNN.com) Reformists opposed to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
won a decisive victory in the Tehran local elections. Preliminary results of the Friday elections were published Sunday night.

However, much of the support for the opposition candidate was based on his personal appeal and was not necessarily a repudiation of Ahmadinejad, the Christian Science Monitor reported. Turnout was unexpectedly high

Where is the MSM on this. Do we have to depend on foreign sources.

The MSM hates good news.

Looks like some Iranians are thinking that their fearless fuehrer/leader could get them nuked back to the Stone Age.

Somewhere I read that all people running in Iranians elections are first vetted by a religious dept in the Parliament.

I think 10,000 people who wanted to run were rejected and could not run in their local elections across the nation

E-mail from Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to "Ras" Putin:

Can I borrow a cup of polonium? I'm trying to solve the same type of problems that you've solved.

Yes. Lol, doesn't it give you the urge to stuff a sock in those open mouths?

Naa, we have to be gentle to my creations... - but not the real people.

How about 'pigs feet', lol. If I ever animate one of 'them' sitting at a table I will put a HAM on a platter!

I'm laughing but there is nothing funny about the ACLU (Assocation of Communist Loving Ubermeisters).
