You really can find absolutely anything on the Web. Anything. For instance, an entry entitled "Why I Have a Little Crush on Mahmoud Ahmadinejad" . The writer, Sally Kohn, begins:
I know I'm a Jewish lesbian and he'd probably have me killed. But still, the guy speaks some blunt truths about the Bush Administration that make me swoon. Okay, I admit it. Part of it is that he just looks cuddly. Possibly cuddly enough to turn me straight. I think he kind of looks like Kermit the Frog. Sort of. With smaller eyes. But that’s not all…I want to be very clear. There are certainly many things about Ahmadinejad that I abhor — locking up dissidents, executing of gay folks, denying the fact of the Holocaust, potentially adding another dangerous nuclear power to the world and, in general, stifling democracy. Even still, I can’t help but be turned on by his frank rhetoric calling out the horrors of the Bush Administration and, for that matter, generations of US foreign policy preceding.
It is a stunning entry and one written with part of her tongue in her cheek. But only part.
At the end she sides with the questions Ahmadinejad asked Bush in a May 2006 letter about peace and Jesus and American foreign policy an poverty.

Just read the article - it was funny to say the least. Just enough to make us a bit uncomfortable.
My short, thin, bearded Opus Dei ex-brother-in-law (Ahmadinejad's twin brother he never knew he had) was just as millennialist from his direction as the Iranian president is from his.
Is it something about the look that they see themselves as prophets?!
And now you know why I have the opinion of Lefties, Liberals, Progressives, Democrats, etc., etc., et al (immoral bobbleheads), that I do.
Strange bedfellows, indeed.
You must have looked really hard for this.
