Mike Wallace Says Ahmadinejad “a Swell Guy”
azconservative ^ | 17 August 2006 | John Semmens

Posted on 08/18/2006 8:30:41 AM PDT by John Semmens

In an interview with Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Mike Wallace of CBS’s “Sixty Minutes” TV show came away quite impressed. "He's a swell guy,” Wallace said. “He really is. He's obviously smart as hell. He’s a college professor, for Christ’s sake. Nobody’s smarter than them."

"Granted he wants to wipe Israel off the map, but I’m a Jew and he didn’t kill me when he had the chance,” Wallace continued. “You’ve got to give him credit for that. I found him an interesting man. He has some intriguing ideas.”

One of the “intriguing" ideas cited by Wallace was Ahmadinejad’s suggestion that the Jews of Israel could simply be relocated. “He suggested that a new homeland for the Jews could be established in Alaska, which I find fascinating," Wallace said. “He pointed out that if European Jews had been sent to Madagascar like the Nazis requested, they wouldn’t have had to kill them. You’ve got to admit he has a point there. And who are we to say that Iran’s stonings and hangings haven’t been a useful weapon in the battle against immorality?”

Many college professors think we evolved from fish too.

Ok.

They should run off to Taxachussettes to get "married". Maybe the other elite media types will get them some uranium for the honeymoon.

I'm sure Hitler kept a few useful Jews around, too.

Well, I think Mike Wallace has "swelling" in the brain.

Wallace has feelings for Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad which are much akin to the heartfelt sincere LOVE that Dan Rather expressed for his host, Saddam Hussein and ON CAMERA at that for all the world to see! What a couple of absolute liberal boneheads! This is why liberalism is seen as such a headcase thing. The guy appears nice, treats YOU OK but you can't see from his position and past deeds that he is beneath contemptable a smuck and a cad?

Sometimes I think journalists are more stupid than earthworms.
