Ship of Fools

Despite many people very vocally questioning the wisdom of letting the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad visit the US today he stepped foot on American soil in New York City...and immediately started spouting the same bullshit that he always does. In front of a large audience at Columbia University the Iranian President continued to deny that the Holocaust ever occured, stated that he doubted that Al-Qaida had any involvment in the 9-11 attacks, and stated that there are no homosexuals in Iran. The president of Columbia University, who apparently wasn't impressed with Ahmadinejad's comments retorted stating that he sounded like a "petty and cruel dictator," and that he was "either brazenly provocative or astonishingly uneducated." Ahmadinejad, who of course is used to having a pair or two of lips afixed to his rear at all times, took exception to these remarks stating ""I should not begin by being affected by this unfriendly treatment." Dude, wake up. You weren't exactly welcomed to this country with open arms, then you show up and spout your skewed version of the truth. Did you honestly believe you were going to stand up in front of educated people and spout off with that crap and not have anyone question you? Tell ya what, go back to Iran and whine to everyone who will listen about how cruel and mean the people of America are and how we treated you with such a large degree of unkindness. Speaking for myself, as an American, your opinion of me and my country matters not at all. Do I concern myself with how the turd feels after I've stepped in it? No, I clean it off my boot and continue with my day never giving it a second though which is exactly what I intend to do with you, Mr. "President".
