Imagine what that question would garner from Iraqis…

This picture is really creepy BTW. Really, really creepy. All fetal positiony. And the pillow case is freaky as well. All these Persian rugs and then this flowery, Walmart looking pillow case. Incongruence pisses me off.

I think those are little embroidered emblems on his socks, not holes.

No, they’re holes. Jim Webb made them when he picked him up by his ankles and….

Is it just me, or does the interviewer have an Alec Baldwin thing going there? And what did that interviewer think? Was he at the SOTU address in the Congressional chamber sitting next to McCain or something!

Yup, taking your life in your hands to nod off on the Big Giant Head.

In Iran, termination of employment for guys who nod off while interviewing the president is likely fatal.

I figured the little guy slept in a crib.

I think he’s graduated to a toddler bed, but he probably falls out of it. Needs to get those toddler bed rails.

Did anyone else feel The World Public Opinion Poll results weren’t exactly ‘honest’? I’m not saying they fudged the results, but they wrote it up in a way that seemed less-than-honest to me.

They kept trying to play up the Americans and Iranians are so similar bit. One thing they pointed out was how many Iranians had a poor view of Osama bin Laden. That might make me feel better if the follow up question was, “Why don’t you like Osama bin Laden?”. I mean, it’s not exactly a shocker that Shiite-dominated Iran is not fond of the founder of a Sunni extremism group.

Then, in the section about terrorism, they pointed out that more Iranians than Americans (80% of Iranians, in fact) said it was NEVER alright to target civilian populations. Which might make you feel all warm and fuzzy, except, that 53% of the respondents say that Palestinian attacks against Israeli civilians are sometimes justified. So, it would appear that some of that 80% was not exactly being honest.

Fairly clear to me now why the little guy is so rabid — he lost his pacifier. Lost his teddy bear, too. It’s okay though. Wesley Clark is going to talk with him in the morning and make it all better.

He’s thinking:
“Dammit! The next time the Clinton’s come for a visit, we’ll check their trunk when they leave. You’d think a the furniture from their own White House would’ve been enough.”
