Yes Diane!

I find you very attractive lady - even though you not Muslim! maybe if you covered your face more with burka I'd find you more so, eh?

By the way ... you may call me "Ami" :)

Sawyer:  Yes, Yes, Im glad y

Sawyer:  Yes, Yes, Im glad you like my Burka.  What?   Oh no, when I interviewed that KKK member I didnt feel the need to wear one of those silly white hats.  Those people arent really crazy and violent, but being in your country, well, I just didnt want to get blown up by a car bomb.

You know what they say at my news station, we will only respect your religion if we are freaking scared sh*tless by it.  Now can I get you another cup of coffee sir?

So what level of treason is

So what level of treason is high enough to actualy hang somebody for? Cause I wonder if anybody even remembers that treason is the same as murdering one of our own soldiers in cold blood. Where is justice? Where is Gen. Patton when we need him?

This lighting fits exactly

This lighting fits exactly what Sawyer wants to portray perfectly: Iran as a shining beacon of hope and America as the Dark Side.

"Now Corporal Klinger,

"Now Corporal Klinger, let me make sure I understand this. You're saying that no matter how many times you wore women's clothing, neither Colonel Blake nor Colonel Potter would give you a section 8?"

Awesome!

Awesome!

Try to imagine Murrow or Seva

Try to imagine Murrow or Sevareid interviewing Hitler or Tojo in the spring of 1942.  No doubt they'd be asking questions of the "up close and personal" variety, allowing Americans to see the "human side" of these folks FDR was demonizing . . . . . .  "Tell us about your paintings Herr Fuhrer". . . . .    "How ever did you get such a beautiful samuri sword"?

(Blushing...) Mahmoud... you really think I look like Hillary? You're just saying that...

"He was just so handso

"He was just so handsome and nice. He even offered me a signed copy of the Diary of Anne Frank. His handwriting was just so neat. His aftershave was mezmerizing and the carpet was very soft!"

Hey baby...you look great wearing that bedsheet...wanna go for a camel ride and watch a beheading?

Get used to wearing that head

Get used to wearing that head scarf, Bitch.  You'll be stepping up to the burka next, once you've helped us complete the jihad.  BTW, I like blondes....and if you'd like to live, I have a small proposition for you...

Sawyer: Let's talk about your softer side, how many tan jackets do you own?

Ahmi: I'm not telling. It could be I only have one, or I have several. It's just like your evil American woman, Ann Coulter. I will wear a different color jacket when I see Ann Coulter wearing something other than a black dress."

:Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad clamps down on his own genitals in silent fury, straining to produce tears for all humanity while Diane Sawyer(R) feels her hardened journalist heart melt at the incredible display of compassion.

Sawyer

Let see now. According to the script, I ask you what kind of tree you would like to be, at which point I start to cry.

Do you think that will show you as the benevolent person we in the news media know you to be?

Mahmoud Ahmedinejad smiles

Mahmoud Ahmedinejad smiles admiringly at Diane Sawyer's headscarf, just before insisting that she cover her entire face with it.

Any one find it peculiar that

Any one find it peculiar that after Diane Sawyer there is an "(R)".  Usually used to indicate Republican.  Are they trying to make it look like a Republican is getting chummy with a terrorist leader?

Not at all Fish.  That's jus

Not at all Fish.  That's just a little note to let us all know that Sawyer is seated in the right hand chair.  It's for those of us who can't tell the difference between Mr. Slime (L) and Little Miss Perfect (R).

Thinking about this one a second.

Not that anyone is saying she's republican.  They're definitely not doing that.  But there are subtle things done in media that are subtle enough that liberals don't see it as such, deny it as bunk, no one questions it, and if anyone does, that person is "really digging" or is a conspiracy theorist.

But subtle, subliminal, seemingly innocent things are placed into the mind in lots of venues.  Company advertising does it.   Is this case of it, in an ideological sense?  I don't know, and can't, but don't rule it out.  Republicans were once blue states.  Red denotes anger, harshness.  During the time of the change, the Soviet Union was very much in everyone's mind.  Communist red.  Red China, etc, etc.  Why else would the color be changed to give the Democrats blue on maps where they were red?  Color was simply a legend to denote contrast.  So what good reason is there to change it? Subtle things are done, seemingly nothing, but their quantity adds up.  But, seriously, if anyone knows the explained reason for the red/blue change, I'd be interested in it being posted.

As for the captioning, when something is captioned with depiction of left or right, to denote where someone is in a photo, aren't the actual words "left" and "right" used more often than not?  I think they are.  Maybe I'm wrong.  I'll have to looking for some photos and see.

Just a thought.

Forgive me, Mahmoud, but I t

Forgive me, Mahmoud, but I think I have to do the rest of the interview looking away from you. Cuz when I look right at you it is so breathtaking and I sit here in utter awe of you. And that makes it hard for me to think about the questions I want to ask. All I am able to do looking at your charming, handsome face is just sigh.

Eagerly responding “Yes!”

Eagerly responding “Yes!”, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad misunderstands Diane Sawyers offer to “Go one-on-one” after their interview. Ms Sawyer was later told there were no basketball courts at the palace and she had better make the little guy happy or things would get nasty. Officials with ABC declined to elaborate on subsequent events, but an unnamed eyewitness did report Sawyer, wearing what appeared to be drapery, hurriedly climbing into a waiting SUV.

1. If you were a tree, which tree would it be? and, 2. Boxers or briefs?"

I did hear that the two enjoyed some nice pita crackers and hummus while the Iranian Tourism Bureau performed a live stoning for Ms. Sawyer.... :p

LOL. I'm in favor of killing

LOL. I'm in favor of killing all despots who are reported as "secretly being jazz lovers" and those who report it - well - I'll think of some kind of severe punishment for them. A live stoning? I suppose Ms. Sawyer would report that as a charming old Iranian custom...:)

Roger,

I don't know why my name keeps getting associated with "hater", implying that roscoe swackhammer is an alias of hater.  I'm convinced that you didn't actually read what I wrote.  Otherwise, you would know there is no association.  You claim i've been a menber for 14 weeks when I've been lurking, and occasionally posting, for 50 weeks.  My latest post was on the subject of censorship, what it is and what it is not.  Please stop associating me with people who happen to log on near the same time I do.  I am in cahoots with no one.

Don't ignore the obvious just because you're the only one who sees it.

O-kay. Whatever you say.

Please--- let me take you to my palace for just one evening and I will be your little Persian perversion, I will whisper farsi love tales to your ears and we'll drink lambs blood together. I have a large collection of camel hair ropes  and we could..........."

Diane:    "Uh, Mr. Ahmadinejad --- just what do you think  you're doing with those hands!!!??"

Oh, great president...if you'll let me scratch your hemorroids, I'll let you cry on my shoulder.

Sawyer: "We're here today talking with Mr. Ima Dena Jad, president and founder of "E-ran", one of the hottest new "E" companies on the global market. Mr. Jad, could you tell us a little about your innovative company?"

Jad: "Yes, of course. As the name implies, we deliver e-mail, instant messages, etc..... by foot. You call us, we come and pick up your message, and we deliver. As the name implies, we run, so it is very fast delivery. Also very Green.. environmentally friendly, so to speak."

Sawyer: "That's such a marvelous idea, and right in line with concepts championed by Almost-Former-President, Al Gore. I understand that you only employ family members, and you have an interesting title for your delivery personnel."

Jad: "Yes, most people would think we would just call ourselves "E-ran-ians", but since we are all Jads, we prefer the title, "Jad-i knights". We are still searching for a Yoda looking figure for our commercials, since Helen Thomas rejected the role. By the way, I find you very attractive for an infidel, what are you doing after the show?"

Sawyer: "Sorry Jad-i. I think you'll be calling up your good buddy, Hand Solo again tonight."

"I voted for Kerry too and it is amazing how easy it is to vote illegally with people like you paving the way Ms. Sawyer. Are all liberals in America as stupid as you?"

If you claim to be a conservative, please don't disgrace yourself and conservatism by thinking and arguing like a liberal. Go Rudy!

"Bush can't win in Iraq, Afghanistan and cant find my friend BinLaden,  polls are way down so he starts another war. Then he has movie company make propaganda movies like "300 Spartans" to make us Persians look weak and he thinks american military is like the Greek Spartans! Of course Bush is chicken hawk and was too afraid to fight..He thinks he can take over middle east for oil like he did when he played risk at Yale instead of studying. His Rich daddy paid off professors so he could play games, cheerlead and cheat at rugby. What you doin after interview?"

..."I voted for the war befor

..."I voted for the war before I voted against it"...as it was politically expedient to to do so.

Btw, nice originality using the nazi reference..never heard that before
