This is pathetic. From Daily
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.

In the quotes she gives from her beloved Ahmadinejad, I particularly like how he says he'll be judged positively compared to Bush by the following criterion:
Did we bring the world peace and security or raised [sic] the specter of intimidation and threats?
This she finds compelling coming from the man who has repeatedly insisted
