Mike Wallace (probably best known for his attack on New York's finest) came out of retirement this week to try and once again show that he still stands behind the president. The Iranian President that is.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad spoke with Comrade Wallace about many anti-American subjects including the White House make-up artists, "Well, please look at the makeup of the American administration,...."
President Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying, "Today is the era of thoughts, dialogue and cultural exchanges." For example, thoughts of Israels destruction, dialogue saying the holocaust never happened and exchanging rockets with the culture of Hezbollah.
El Presidente Ah-mad-in-jihad also spoke of his disappointment with his 18 page letter being virtually ignored, "I tried so hard to stay within the lines.", he cried.
Mike Wallace was quoted as saying, "...he's a rather attractive man, very smart, savvy, self-assured, good looking...". He then got this far away look in his eyes.
Of course this isn't the first time Herr Wallace has courted Iranian royalty. Over the last fourty years he has acted as apoligist for the Shah, former President Hashemi Rafsanjani and, most famously, the 1979 sitdown with the Ayatollah Khomeini.
The fully EDITED version of the interview will be this Sunday on 60 minutes, or as it is known in Iran, Al-Jazeera lite. |
