Move over, Ned Lamont!

Charles Johnson of the obscure little website Little Green Footballs calls our attention to this Daily Kos thread discussing Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s appearance on “60 Minutes” last night. While I don’t feel it necessary to relay every piece of evidence of the far left’s pathologies that I unearth in my virtual expeditions to the dark side, this comment section is simply incredible. Based on his interview with Wallace, the far left seems to be developing a crush on Ahmadinejad. A few of the comments:

Even before the translation could be heard, I felt more assured of his intelligence and comprehension than I've ever felt about Bush speaking in mangled English. He's a very savvy politician, to be sure.

And;

He is smart and is also media savvy or surrounded by people that are, as shown by the wardrobe, the mannerisms and likely even the pitch and tone of his chosen translator.

And;

He certainly has some of the same comments and questions of bush that we do. He raised many good points.

And;

I like the guy. Maybe not what one is supposed to say, but I've read quite a bit about him & he is very educated and personable. I take what I hear from the U.S. propaganda machines with less than a grain of salt.

Lest you think I’m cherry picking the comments, I urge you to follow the link. These are indicative of the entire virtual conversation. There are a few voices of reason (relatively speaking, e.g., “Yes, Bush is an awful president. But I'll take W over the Map Wiper any day of the week,”) but they were a distinct minority.

To paraphrase Sally Field, they like him! They really like him!
