Ahmadinejad's health is deteriorating
2008-10-24

Let's all think those good thoughts...
The health of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is deteriorating, according to reports in the Islamic Republic. The reports come after Ahmadinejad, 52, canceled a series of public appearances, including two speeches and a cabinet meeting.

A top aide to Ahmadinejad, Amir Mansour Borghei, told journalists the president was "indisposed". Iranian news Web site Shahab said doctors had advised the president to reduce his workload if he wanted to avoid illness, quoting "sources close to the government." The Web site indicated that the president had pulled out of the engagements due to fatigue caused by low blood pressure.

However, other sources in Teheran speculated that the opposition was spreading rumors about Ahmadinejad's health in order to garner support for next year's elections.

#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.

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

#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.

#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.

#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... ;-)

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

#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.
