Parodies of Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as Hitler were recently run on Iranian television.
An image of him holding up his arm confidently a la Nazi greeting was superimposed over a reworking of his name to fit the commercial, “Hitler Nejad”.
Oh, the irony. This is the same guy who was harangued for suggesting that the solution to the problems of the Middle East would be to remove Israel.
Ahmadinejad has taken a hit lately from his own citizens and Iranian leaders who appear to be tiring of his outlandish tendencies. Iran’s religious leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, overruled Ahmadinejad and ordered him to increase the supply of gas in the country after freezing temperatures caused the deaths of some Iranians in rural areas.
That too is ironic, seeing as that Iran has the second largest natural gas reserve in the world. It looks like Ahmadinejad better watch his political step if his own citizens are getting tired of him.
