Sen. Voinovich calls Iran's Ahmadinejad, "Ahmad-in-a-head"

"Ahmadinejad - I call him Ahmad-in-a-head - I think he's a Hitler type of person," Ohio Republican Senator George Voinovich said during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing.

"He has made it clear that he wants to destroy Israel. He has made it clear he doesn't believe in the Holocaust. He's a, he's a - we all know what he is," the senator added.

1. ARGH. Godwin. Whack on head.
(The "Ah'm-mad-in-the-head" pun, on the other hand, is borderline cute.)

15. I don't understand
Is that supposed to be funny? Does that mean something that I just don't get? Cause I don't see anything that even an idiot could find funny.

5. We're A Nation Of Morons....
Being Led by MORONS.

Oh, and on the other side of the world we have....more MORONS, leading other countries as well.

Basically as a human race we're all Fucked, and probably deserve to be. If there is a God, he's likely confused as to how we could screw ourselves up so badly.

7. I'm reminded of Jr. High School...
Where we used to do stupid things with each other's names. Have I said how much I DETEST our fucking Congress today? We currently have the worst Congress in American history.

17. It's actually
Ahmad-i-nejad. Like Mosly-Braun, a hyphenated name. That's the way the Iranian media spells it.

24. I've heard announcers use several pronunciations. It's like Abu Ghraib.
That one was all over the place pronunciation wise. As long as I'm close with Ama di ni jad..oops. I'll try again later.

9. There's nothing quite like a grown man...
...acting like a grade-school bully, is there?

Hello UN members! When you turn on your hotel television sets tonight, you'll
be treated to the fabulous maturity of our stellar, elected leaders. Bask
in their brilliance!

Can we hide our heads in shame now...or should we wait until they've all spoken?

13. He's thinks he's Hitler?
Hitler didn't want to destroy Israel, and he certainly beleived in the Holocaust. Moran.

21. Voinovich is senile. You should have known him in his day when he was
a youthful and impressive politician. It is sad to see him as he is today when I can remember him when he actually represented the working class and didn't follow the party agenda.
