For my money, this was the best of the mainstream print coverage of the nutjob's appearance. I usually find Dana Milbank boring, but this is really very well done, and most fully illustrates what an ignorant, not-ready-for-prime-time buffoon Ahmadinejad really is.

[Jeff Head]

Ahmadinejad is not ignorant. He is a madman...but so was Hitler...and it took six years of prime time and millions of lives to put him down.

IMHO, we are making the same types of mistakes with this tyrant. He has told us straight up what he intends. He should have been arrested and put away the second he set foot on our soil. He has the blood of our sons and daughters, and countelss others, already on his hands.

The issue is not what the civilized world thinks of him...we already have, with our free flow of informationa ndhis own speeches elsewhere, ample evidence against him from his own mouth.

The issue is what he does with the platform and credibility we lent him by officially giving him a visa and allowing him here...what he does with that amongst the controlled and ignorant masses in his part of the world. He will use this visit to justify and lend credence to himself...and sign up many, many more to his rabid cause. The price of that, will be measured in all the more American blood in the months, and perhaps years, ahead.

I bet the press felt like they were listening to Hillary.

From the article:

“In our country,” judged the man who shuts down newspapers and imprisons journalists, “freedom is flowing at its highest level.”

I’d say the only thing “flowing” is bs.

Dana Milbank’s writing style is one of acerbic sarcasm. Today, that’s good because he’s decided to write about Ahmanutjob, but Milbank wrote an article a few weeks back about Tony Snow that really pissed me off.

“Our people are the freest people in the world,” said the man whose government executes dissidents, jails academics and stones people to death....And if you believe that, he has a peaceful civilian nuclear program he wants to sell you...

A good front-man for the far left Dems. What a pathetic excuse for an international statesman. No different than the stone-age Mullahs that are pulling his strings. The fact that this pig-swill got into this country, is a major embarrassment to every American citizen and a disgraceful performance by our State Department for even allowing it to happen. God, what is this country turning into?

"Our people are the freest people in the world,"

"The freest women in the world are women in Iran,"

Hmmm...Then why did you stone an 18 year old girl over the weekend for "promiscuous behavior"? Why can't women drive a car? Why can't Iranians worship freely in a Christian church?

Free? Really? By what standards...the Koran? If this is the best Iran has to offer in terms of a public servant, they need to look under another rock.

They all talk like Baghdad Bob.

We’re past jaw jaw, though. At least after Beslan, I am.

Hey Rama Lama Ding Dong!....why don’t you just shuffle on back to your private corner of hell and just wait for the sound of our bombers coming over the horizon?.....
