Sucking up to these people sure pays dividends.

“Iran’s under-fire President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad...”

A useless statement from a phoning it in reporter when the rest of the report is read.

The leader of Iran should be in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the longest psychotic break in post-World War II history.
