As you’ve likely heard, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad actually had a Columbia University audience laughing yesterday when he declared:
“In Iran, we don’t have homosexuals like in your country. In Iran, we do not have this phenomenon. I don’t know who’s told you that we have it.”
Uh-huh.
Well, if there’s anything that former World Wrestling Federation champion The Iron Sheik has taught us (besides the fact that you can really kick some ass with his signature moves, the Camel Clutch and the Iranian Drop)…
… it’s that the so-called “phenomenon” isn’t limited to OUR country. (I mean, hello, look at those curl-toed boots!)

oh do notget me started on this! Columbia U and Lee Bollinger have some explaining to do. Kudos to Bollinger for his harsh opening words but how that man was allowed to speak at the University in the first place is mind numbing.

If he had not spoken at Columbia, I don’t think many of us (myself included) would have understood just what a wack job this man is. My eyes have been opened.

How funny is it that they had to print Iran on the flag so people didn’t think he was holding some sort of messed up Italian flag or something
