I’m waiting for the video to turn up on the YouTube. In the meanwhile, here are some choice quotes: We don’t have homo­sexuals. I don’t know who told you we had it. I would have laughed long and heartily on reading that one, but for the fact that it’s true. Iran doesn’t have any homo­sexuals. They only have dead teenagers. [NB: Graphic link.] We oppose the way the U.S. government tries to manage the world. . . . We propose more humane methods of estab­lishing peace. Indeed? You know, the Nazis were well on their way to estab­lishing “peace” by “humane” methods. [ . . . ]

Everyone’s favorite Iranian dictator is coming to New York City! Ladies, hide your faces and clitorides! I find the idea of Ahmadinejad running around New York like Marlo Thomas supremely disturbing, and I am relieved to know that there is at least one site he won’t be allowed to visit. What is that man doing in this country, anyway? Is he planning another divine-​​​​aura-​​​​inducing speech before the UN? And do we as a country really want to be in (let alone play permanent host to) a club that lets in the likes of him?
