Iran's Ayatollah Khameini Says: '2-out-of-3 Ain't Bad'
by Scott Ott

(2004-02-01) -- About two-thirds of Iranian Members of Parliament have not yet resigned in protest over the heavy-handed rule of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khameini, and Mr. Khameini said today, "Two out of three ain't bad."

"In an republic like Iran," said Mr. Khameini, "You can't be popular with everyone. I try to look on the bright side. We still have almost two-thirds of parliament, so the glass is more than half-full."

Since all actions of government in Iran are subject to Mr. Khameini's unelected 12-member Guardian Council, he said, "Having all those extra MPs was superfluous anyway."
