Ahmadinejad Positions Himself For 2012 Republican Primary
Posted by supercynic on June 28, 2009
Tehran, Iran — Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad slammed President Barack Obama in a speech to an Iranian judicial council claiming that Obama had interfered in the recent Iranian presidential election.
“Didn’t he say that he was after change?” Ahmadinejad asked Iranian judiciary officials in a speech. “Why did he interfere? Why did he utter remarks irrespective of norms and decorum?”
Many political observers see Ahmadinejad’s stepped up attacks against Obama as jockeying for position in the crowded 2012 Republican primary field.
“While he has not officially announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for the presidency in 2012, blaming Obama for anything and everything shows that Ahmadinejad is clearly attempting to identify with the Republican base,” said one GOP insider who would speak only on condition of anonymity (it was Robert Novak, pass it on).
Asked about Ahmadinejad’s chances in the GOP 2012 presidential race, Dick Cheney said, “I think he would not only fit in, but become the frontrunner. He denies the Holocaust, doesn’t believe in equal rights for women, hates gays, hates the press, just has a lot of hate in him. So, I think he’d be a lock for the GOP nomination.”
It’s rumored that Ahmadinejad has already set up an exploratory committee. A New York ad agency is on record stating that it’s been hired to develop a campaign around the slogan, “Hate You Can Believe In.”
None of this has been confirmed though. One reporter who managed to infiltrate Ahamdinejad’s inner political circle was summarily executed.

You’re humor is both in poor taste and wildly inaccurate. Read up on Ahamdinejad’s economic policies and you’ll find that his and Obama’s a nearly a match. I’m not being funny about that either; that’s an actual fact.

Hi Jonolan. Thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment. Sincerely, is there any humor about Republicans that you find to be in good taste?
I’ve had lots and lots of comments about my humor. You’re the first to call it “wildly inaccurate.” Kudos, mate.

Oh yes, there are many jokes about the GOP I find hilarious, and even more about the various pundits who are associated with the party like Limbaugh and Coulter.
But to makes jokes about Ahamdinejad being suitable for the GOP are in very poor taste and the equivalent of making jokes about Osama Bin Laden being suitable for the Democrats or Obama’s cabinet (jokes by others I also found repugnant).

To each his own, my friend. If bin Laden were spouting off rhetoric that sounded like something straight from the DNC, I’d laugh at a joke about bin Laden being a Democrat.
I rarely consider a joke in poor taste. To me, jokes are funny or they’re not. I rarely invoke my sensitivities. But again, to each his own.
