Second Ahmadinejad post in as many days

Today's news cycle is already filled with tons of absurd news items on the Ahmadinejad speech at Columbia, as well as the numerous protests and counter-protests it inspired. But my favorite stuff so far is coming out of the KabobFest blog:


Oh! Now I get it! Apparently the Columbia/Barnard Hillel's problem with Ahmadinejad is that the Iranian judiciary has children on death row. Texas, you're presumably Columbia's organized Jewish community's next target.

And if you are still craving more, check out Dilbert creator Scott Adams's commentary on the same site.

Dan Gillerman: Master of Analogy

Ha'aretz is carying what is by far the best comment so far of what promises to be an eventful visit by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to New York for the UN's annual assembly:

Israel's United Nations envoy Dan Gillerman told the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organization that a visit by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Ground Zero would be similar to a visit by a resurrected Hitler to Auschwitz.

So let me get this straight. According to Gillerman, apparently in his official capacity representing the government of Israel, a visit by the President of Iran to the site of an attack on the United States by an organization which Iran has nothing to do with, is the rough equivalent of Zombie Hitler visiting the death camps which he established in an effort to ethnically cleanse the lands he ruled over of Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, political dissidents, and other "undesirables".

But really, the problem is that Ahmadinejad doesn't respect the twelve million who died in the Holocaust.
