(2007-09-25) — Producers of the new BravoTV series “Queer Eye for the Iranian Guy” said they’re close to inking a deal with Islamic Republic President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to appear in the season opener.
While it’s a well-known fact that there are no homosexuals in Iran, the network plans to import them to Tehran from the United States in order to give Mr. Ahmadinejad “a radical, extremist makeover.”
During the course of the show, the Iranian leader will be “fundamentally transformed head-to-toe” by a group of homosexual men known as the Fab Five — an interior designer, a fashion stylist, a chef, a beauty guru and a ‘concierge of cool’.
According to a news release from the show’s producers, “By the time the Fab Five are done with him, the A-man will have gone from geek to gorgeous, sporting new threads, new taste in pop music and a new sense of self-identity.”

That was quite a moment. I didn’t see President Ahmanutjob’s appearance at Columbia but I heard clips from it today on the radio. Once you hear how he artfully dodges direct questions and displays his willful ignorance of everything under the sun (homosexuals in his country, the Holocaust, et al), if you still think we should dialogue with this guy, you need a straitjacket(sp?) almost as bad as him!

I often wondered why Barney Frank never went to Iran.
Guess there’s no toe tappin’ allowed in Iranian men’s rooms either.

Re: #4 Barney probably has a “wide stance,” and he didn’t want to risk execution for such.

But he certainly knows what a WMD is, and he says that he doesn’t have those either.
Scott, I think that this show will be a hit. I’ll be curious to see what he looks like in pink with a boa.

I wonder what color of nail polish Ahmadamnutjob uses on his toenails - desert sand red or palm leaf green?
12 Darthmeister // Sep 25, 2007 at 2:00 pm
… and I bet Ahmadamnutjob was a secret patron of Barney Fwank’s brothel before it was shut down. I wonder what Barney did with all the goats?

Which is worse, the love of a man for another man or, the love of a man for his goat?
I’m betting he’s more than passingly familiar with the second choice, doubtful he could deny the existence of that prediliction

“In Iran we don’t have homosexuals like in your country.” … “In Iran we do not have this phenomenon. I don’t know who’s told you that we have this.” — Mahmoud the Madman
Well, of course you don’t, Mahmoud!
That’s because they are no longer tip-toe-ing thru the tulips, dude - instead, they’re pushing up the daisies !

Oh, I’ve been to Qatar and Ethiopia and anywhere I could run
I took the hand of the Mullah man and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces ’cause I just had to be free
Oh, I’ve been to Mecca, Mahmoud! But I’ve never been to me
[tap, tap, tap]
Catchy tune, but if anyone asks, Mahmoud baby… we never met.

He sounds a lot like some Republicans in that he denies the existence of homosexuals in HIS group cause “those folks” are “off”
I can’t wait until they find him playing footsies, then the “problem” he presents will be “solved” all by itself.

By the time the “Fab Five” get finished with Mahmoud, he’ll be swishing about like John Edwards in a beauty shop.

As a DAV from WW ll & a graduate of C.U., G.S ‘50, I am stunned that C. U. would invite Ahmadinejad here to pour forth his Anti-America poison on our students.
If this is the way of the future, let’s have the Columbian drug lords speak about the benefits of their produce. After all, they’re from Columbia!
How about the cigarette manufacturers having a chance to expound on the benefits of smoking & the lies about lung cancer.
And let’s have all the men who shed their blood to keep freedom of speech in American send in money to pay the speakers’ expenses!
speak. address in the hopes of getting substanial political campaign contributuions?

Thankfully, he, like just about all loonies these days is stunningly stupid. It is nice that he stop by and stand there whilst we point out that very thing, very sporting of him really.
This is the enemy we fear? Pray tell, just who might benefit from this fear? Who benefits from the past fear of Saddam and the present fear of what’s left of Iraq?
I’m much more afraid of the slightly peeved pit bull on my street than just about any of this current crop of whatever you care to call them.
“terrorist” assignes them much more respect than they are due.

The decision to shelve Queer Eye’s final episodes for so long would seem to represent a strange way to show its appreciation, BUT now we know why and we can accept the managements willingness to do anything for ratings. Everyone watching Amamadjihadist get a queer makeover will be kept on pins and needles.

Mahmoud could have (& probably should have) appeared at Columbia U. & the U.N. in big, floppy clown shoes and wearing a fake, bulbous red nose; woulda suited him, and the venues even more! Mahmoud is not the problem.

BLOWIN THEM TO BITS
Taken from Irving Berlin’s Putting On The Ritz, published in 1929 by Irving Berlin and introduced by Harry Richman in the musical film Puttin’ on the Ritz (1930).
Have you seen the chic ‘Dinejad
Talkin with his neighbor, Bahgdad
About that nuclear warfare
With their missiles in the air
Funny hats that look like a towel
Two dollar suits that smell foul
Spending all the money
Looking for a western honey
Now, if you’re a progressive
And you don’t know what a mess is
Why don’t you go where ‘Dinejad sits
Hopin’ to blow Israel to bits
Hetro types who speak to the United Nations
Skunks with stripes with nuclear proliferation
The shoe fits
Blowing England to bits
Dressed up like a gay metrosexual man
Trying hard to look like a San Fran
Can can
Come, lets go where students learned
Show them how Jews never burned
There’s no concern
Blowin’ France to bits
—— short instrumental break ——
Tells his lies just like Kennedy Chappie’
To a University with a wealthy preppies
Very clever
You’ll declare its simply trying
To be there and hear them lying
Stupid nitwits
Blowin’ America to bits

Columbia University and CBS’ “60 Minutes†are giving Ahmadinejad added propaganda platforms. If either of these self-proclaimed bastions of free speech were truly interested in stimulating a debate on controversial issues, they would have invited a top Israeli leader, a Holocaust survivor and an Iranian dissident to debate Ahmadinejad face-to-face with no conditions. Instead, this wretched terrorist sponsor, human rights abuser and Holocaust denier will go largely unchallenged while he tries to portray himself as a reasonable leader open to peaceful dialogue.
