NBC's Brian Williams to Interview Iran's Ahmadinejad

In the lead up to the March 2003 Iraq invasion, CBS's Dan Rather interviewed Saddam Hussein.

Now, less than four months before America goes to the polls to elect a new president, NBC's Brian Williams is going to interview Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

I wonder if Williams will ask the lunatic despot who he's supporting in the coming elections?

Regardless of the answer, TVNewser reported about five hours ago (photo also courtesy Newser):

After a quick trip home, Brian Williams will be back on the road this weekend to interview Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Williams and his team will travel to Iran this weekend, with the interview taking place in Tehran on Monday. Excerpts will air on the Today show, MSNBC and msnbc.com. Williams will also anchor Nightly News from Tehran on Monday night.

Oooooh, I'm all tingly thinking about the tough questions this enemy of the state will be asked, and to see just how Williams sets Ahmadinejad up to praise Obama and bash McCain.

Stay tuned.
