… Both the President of Iran and a speaker at the AIPAC conference vilify it within days of each other.
First John Hagee, an evangelical pastor speaking at the AIPAC conference a couple days ago, called the United Nations a “political brothel”. Salon has an excellent recap of this event that epitomizes the how moneyed interests, and the Israel lobby in particular, are shaping the American political landscape into an absurd farce even Gogol couldn’t make up. John “I-know-a-brothel-when-I-see-one” Hagee shared his love of AIPAC with Hillary and Obama who held competing dessert events at the conference. Disgusting.
Meanwhile, Mahoud “people-can-finally-say-my-name” Ahmadinejad called the UN a bully for discussing sanctions, and suggested that new sanctions would serve to speed up nuclear development. Hopefully the Iranian people are smarter than their American counterparts and will vote out/overthrow this blowhard before his brother from another mother, GW Bush, has another urge to put on a flight suit and bring violent devastation to an oil-rich Muslim country for the second time.
