Iranian amateur ballot rigging

You have to hand it to Ahmadinnerjacket and his Interior Ministry goons. He's another brazen leader with all the democratic legitimacy of a cuckoo in a nest. His attempts at rigging the Iranian election would look a lot better if he hadn't given two of the losers 1% and 2% apiece. In such a hotly contested election, the result is more a joke than a serious attempt at ballot rigging. In that he has proved to be a shambolic amateur.

It is a sad reflection that for many human beings their whole lives are lived in countries run by despots and tinpot dictators. There isn't a person in the world that doesn't want personal freedoms and just to be left alone by the state. The likes of Ahmadinnerjacket, who looks like the worst kind of scruffy taxi driver you could be lumbered with, think they know best. They don't, but in this new world of American diplomacy, he's going to get away with it. I reckon we can be counting on more asylum seekers, and who could blame them?

Interestingly, Google confirms that the Iranian leader is to be called Ahmadinnerjacket if one is cheekily mocking his name. Any other form of spelling gets a rebuke from Google. "Did you mean Ahmadinnerjacket?" I surely did!
