Filibuster Cartoons

The much-hated President of Iran, Mahmood Ahmadinejad, was on a visit to the US this week. Even though the United States has no official relations with his government, he apparently doesn’t have a hard time getting into the country.
The highlight of his trip consisted of a visit to New York’s Columbia University, where he was invited to be a guest speaker.
Things went predictably; there were tons of protestors who yelled at him, and the president of the school called him a “cruel petty dictator.” And Mahmood said his usual nonsense about the holocaust and Israel, though I notice he is much more cautious and careful in his spin on these topics than he used to be.
The biggest LOL moment of the entire thing, though, was when he was asked about his government’s persecution of gays. “In Iran we don’t have homosexuals like in your country,” he daid. “In Iran we do not have this phenomenon, I don’t know who has told you that we have it,” he added.
