2 I suppose the Iranian Mullahs are taking a page from the Fidel Castro/Yasser Arafat playbook.

There is nothing like a quiet terminal illness and sudden unexpected death to solve a leadership problem in a dictatorship. Methinks he is dying of a sick economy and high unemployment with complications from general social unrest.

7 Poor fellow! He is dying from poor health, he just doesn't know it yet! It'll probably end with a 9mm brain aneurism. [/sarcasm]

13 It seems like--what?--444 days since he took office. Poor fella.

16 If our CIA was any good at all they'd be spreading the word that it was all due to chronic alcoholism ...

17 Or say he's got the same "stuff" Arafat died of. Say he caught it from a gay goat...

20 I'm sure President Ahmadenijad would not want it, Besoeker, as it is a Jewish prayer for health. He appears quite convinced he worships a different god. Perhaps if you were to not say the prayer translated into Arabic... ;-)

21 Ironically, he might have AIDS.

It has been suggested that AIDS is epidemic in Qom, because the Shiites weirdly interpret homosexuality to be oral sex only. A large percentage of their new students are therefore sodomized by multiple men on their arrival in Qom for religious studies.

Because Nutjob belongs to a particularly kooky cult, the odds of him having full blown AIDS is sky high.

22 'Moose, I'm not doubting that such a thing is possible having seen a daisy chain of Muzzies doing each other on the deck of a ship, but do you have a source for that statement? I'd be interested in knowing how to back that up if I used it in a discussion.

24 So basically he'll have aids-related dementia, steroids-induced dementia, and control of nuclear weapons?

25 ...told journalists the president as "indisposed".

That's my excuse when last night's buffalo wings are coarsing through the system...

27 Tell him to rub some bacon grease on his chest as this will allieviate his symptoms. (sorry I know that was wrong) I didn't see this anywhere on NBC or CNN, are the illuminaties covering this or are they too busy taking picturs of OB with his grandma.
