Bollinger Blackout in Iran

Is anyone surprised?

Want to see how effective Lee Bollinger’s supposed plan to expose Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as a “petty and cruel dictator” went? The Iranian state news agency reported on Ahmadinejad’s speech — and they apparently never heard of Lee Bollinger.

Captain Ed has the full IRNA article, and it’s so absurd it’s actually funny.

If you’ve somehow missed it, here’s Bollinger addressing Ahmadinejad (in two parts).

Good for Lee Bollinger. As I said before, well done.

UPDATE: They may black out Bollinger, but they love the LA Times!

“President Ahmadinejad has transcended national and religious divides to become a hero across the Middle East,” the Los Angeles Times said in an article published on Monday.

The articles points to the president’s popularity among Muslims who believe that their leaders are too beholden to or frightened of the Bush administration.

I think I might have to pass on checking the New York Times in the morning. You guys can have at it.
