The New York Helmsley has ‘ankled,’ as they say in Variety-ese, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad when the hotel discovered the Iranian Holocaust-denying psycho was speaking at a banquet at their facility. “Neither the Iranian Mission nor President Ahamdinejad is welcome at any Helmsley facility,” said Hemsley Properties spokesman Howard Rubinstein. No shoes for A-jad, evidently. Let’s hope Gotham Hall follows suit. That banquet hall is hosting another Ahmadinejad banquet and speech on Sept. 25. [Maybe he can eat at one of those street corner halal stands.-ed. I thought you were retired.]

Meanwhile, the action is heating up on A-jad’s home turf again. As per usual, the mainstream media is (relatively) and the President (completely) silent. It’s easy to understand why they try not to say a word about Tea Party demonstrations (the political opposition, you know), but freedom demonstrators in the streets of Tehran? Fortunately, France 24 has interesting video (see below). But that’s not surprising. Sarkozy has been vastly more outspoken about the Iranian nuclear threat than Obama.

    “As per usual, the mainstream media is (relatively) and the President (completely) silent.”

    Let’s call it the leftwing media.

    Also the opposition.

    The reason Sarko is vocal about this is because he knows the range of the Iranian missles and knows his electorate are a bunch of cowards who will do anything the Muslims tell them to to avoid being attacked. Just the way they collaborated with the Germans.

    Who in the State Department approved a visa for A-jad? As the leader of a nation that sponsors terror, is developing nuclear weapons, and kills our soldiers in Iraq, shouldn’t he be denied entry?

  5. freedom!!different from anywhere
