That wan't an election.
Okay, thanks! Not sure I agree about Mousavi being better than Leisure Suit Larry, but it really doesn’t matter as long as the mullahs are the ones running things.
Bumping twitter link.
Picked up on this link:

I used #CNNFail about 50 times last night on Twitter.
It was not just about CNN. It was about the fact that NO media covered the reaction to the Iranian election ... not Fox, not CNN, not MSNBC ...
>>>> the violence that the Iranian government is using to quell the riots can’t be shown, no, no, no. <<<<<
Not on CNN, but it’s all over the Internet.
In his press conference AmaDingDong was forced by the power of the Internet into an extremely transparent stance of lies and laughable BS.
It was fascinating- at one point the (wretched) Christiane Amanpour asked him what would be happening to the reform candidate and if he would guarantee his safety.
MadMood’s truly incredible answer was that Moussavi has been arrested for..a TRAFFIC VIOLATION!!!!
Baghdad Bob’s got nothing on MadMood.
The mullahs no doubt like Ahamadinajads and Mousavis foreign policy views, but they certainly don't care for Mousavis stance of separating mosque and state for the average Iranian.
The problem now is that information technology is so widespread that pulling the old stunts to rig results isn't going to work anymore. There's too much transparency built into modern, wired living. Especially among the younger crowds, who despise the mullahs and want to throw off their rules.
This has been a crucial election, in that it removes any veneer of legitimacy that the mullahs had in their eyes, and exposes them for what they are. Not benign religious leaders, but petty tyrants. It's a major social milestone for young Iranians, and the loss of credibility the mullahs suffered today will be their undoing.
>>>> Moussavi has been arrested for..a TRAFFIC VIOLATION!!!! <<<<
Yes. Unbelievable.
The man is a complete crackpot.
Unfortunate that the interchange was with Amanpour.
Trying to keep up with the news on twitter...coming in fast and furious...

Twitter makes it easy to get up to speed pretty quickly.
It’s going on 6:30PM there so things might slow down for the evening.
But rallies are being called for tomorrow.
Sadly so.
Thx.
TOOOOOO close to the truth for comfort.
Actually, it sounds like it’s heating up near the university. This is from one student who has been able to tweet:
Change_for_Iran
Security forces are now gathering a large force near university of physics #iranelection
The scariest and most obvious aspect of this takeover of America by the dictator wannabe in the WH, is the MSM.
