NO SPEAKA DA ENGLISH.....

One of the bedrocks of our Democracy is freedom of speech, religion and not having to watch Fox News. When our forefathers and foremothers decided to break with the redcoats it wasn’t just because most of them disliked doing the gavotte and wearing buckles on their shoes...it was because they wanted to be able to speak their minds without some lousy bum beating their heads in with a mutton chop.

For the life of me I cannot understand the actions of all the Americans who got pissed off and protested when Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad – try saying that 3 times fast - was invited to speak at Columbia University while on a trip to the United Nations. What the hell could that Iranian midget say that would upset so many citizens? We’re supposed to encourage free speech not prevent it. Dictators and despots don’t allow people to speak their minds…not the U.S. of A. Why the big hullabaloo?

Could it be that compared to George W. Bush – who always sounds like he’s trying to say, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad 3 times fast – the Iranian thug is able to speak clearly and intelligently? Who cares what he says, most of it is a bunch of crap, anyway. I think the protestors have an inferiority complex because our President never learned to speak English and has difficulty putting two sentences together without stammering and putting his audience to sleep. Sadly, Ahmadinejad unlike Bush, can actually talk and not sound like a chipmunk. It’s a sad state of affairs when we feel like we have to silence someone who doesn’t own a necktie or razor.

Maybe we should insist that our politicians running for office be able to prove that they can speak without the rest of us giggling. What a concept. Imagine, smart politicians? Nah, no one would ever run for office.
