George Stephanopoulos gives some background about his interview with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on his blog today.
"After the 'This Week' show on Sunday — and after five years of requests — I received word from the Iranian interests section that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had agreed to an interview with me," he wrote. "But there was a catch: I had to be there by Wednesday at the latest."
Stephanopoulos made it, and what transpired were "some spirited exchanges, as you might imagine, on the nuclear talks, the Holocaust, and who's really to blame for the breakdown in U.S.-Iran relations."
He also asked to see jailed journalist Roxana Saberi. Said Ahmadinejad: "Let's see if our judiciary allows for that, sure. But if they do not allow for that, no. I am afraid not."

I’m sure this’ll result a hard-hitting piece.
Typical liberals. They love to talk with our enemies and hate our friends.
Speechless.
Please Ahmadinejad... keep Stephanopolous hostag... I mean as a "guest".
Shades of Mike Wallace, I’m sure.
What’s your favorite color. Tell me about your mother. Do you hate Bush. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Wanna bet the questions will be as hard and confrontational as those given Sarah Palin?/sarc
A Look at Iran

Iran has strict laws on homosexuality.
I hope they’ll cover IPOd playlists & stuff.
I was thinking Dan Rather and Saddam!
Did George bow?
I’m a lot more critical of this Clinton butt-kisser getting the job in the first place, than I am of him giving Ahmadinejad an interview. Yes StepOnAllOfUs will give the clown a pass, but you can’t stop a guy like Ahmadinejad from making a fool out of himself, no matter how hard you try. So this will serve our purposes overall.
Stephi walked by one of our protests out front of WDC Hilton one afternoon about a decade ago. He was scared s-less. Right around the same time Peter Jennings walked by, as cordial as could be. Wolf Blitzer walked by too. And he was so frightened of us, that he took a circuitous route to get into the Hilton. It was hilarious. He had a look on his face that said something like, “I’m going to wet myself if I’m not careful.”
I always disagreed with Jennings, but in this one test, he at least showed some backbone. The other two, seemed lucky to escape with dry pants.
bttt
What. George is bringing him a red phone extention or something?
LOL, probably knows better, unlike BO.
He’s just following orders.
“He’s just following orders.”
Exactly, this lemming is part of the Kenyan’s Koffe Klatch Kabinet!
More fools.
