You have got to be kidding me
Okay, so Iran gets a new president. Fine. Almost immediately, some of the people who were held captive for over a year in Tehran (back in 1979-1981) said that the new President of Iran (Mahmoud Ahmadinejad) was one of the people involved in holding them prisoner.
Practically on the heels of this, our President (beloved muppet that he is) said we, as in our government, would be looking into this.
Now, you know, I was seven years old when the hostages were taken prisoner in Iran. I barely remember any of it being on the news, as when you're seven years old, the news is not generally of interest, while the ongoing struggle between Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner are.
But the idea of our President saying that their President may have a shifty history... does this strike anyone else as the pot calling the kettle black?
If I were Mahmoud, I'd respond with "Yeah, well, I hear Mr. Bush may have done drugs, driven around drunk off of his ass, and dodged an entire fucking war. And your point about my past was what again?"

Re: *eyeroll*
Mind you, I have no way of knowing if any of these allegations are true or not, but considering over 1000 people filed to run for President of Iran, and the clerics who really run the country only let 12 of them actually get on the ballot, what the hell were people expecting? That the winner out of those 12 would be some sweetness and light kind of guy who shits sunbeams and means peace and goodwill to everyone?
