| Iran applies for US visa for Ahmadinejad |
| 2007-03-16 |
| Iran's UN Mission sent a letter to the Security Council president Thursday officially requesting permission for President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to speak during its discussion on a resolution that would impose new sanctions on Teheran for refusing to suspend uranium enrichment, a council diplomat said. Iranian state television quoted government spokesman Gholam Hossein Elham on Sunday as saying Ahmadinejad wanted to take his case for pursuing nuclear power before the council as it considers the sanctions resolution. The letter informed South Africa's UN Ambassador Dumisani Kumalo, the current council president, that Ahmadinejad would head the Iranian delegation, the council diplomat said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the letter has not yet been made public. |

| #17 Truly, truly icky, Zenster. A good match, indeed, and a small slice of Monty Python goes with everything. |

| #13 "... what cheese would be strong enough to stand up to a stinker like him?" Well, tw, I was going to go Monty Python on you and retort, “Venezuelan Beaver Cheese!”, but there is a more appropriate and genuine cheese that could only befit a true maggot like Ahmadinejad. I give you, Casu Marzu. Famed as both an aphrodisiac and source of intestinal parasites, this Sardinian variant of Pecorino cheese (Pecorino Sardo) is purposely infested with larvae of the Cheese Skipper, which are then allowed to breed within the curd. From the link: At least the name of the food doesn't try and cover what it is - casu marzu translates to "rotten goo", which is an apt description. The brown mass, after the critters - the larvae of Piophila casei - have gone to work, results in a fermented cheese with decomposing fats. The taste is described alternately as vaguely rotten and pungent, or as delicate and piquant, depending on the person. The cheese burns the tongue and throat when eaten. It's claimed to have both aphrodisiac and psychotropic qualities - one person, after his first time eating it, claimed to have a strange crawling sensation on his skin for days.Some experts declare the cheese to be ripe when the maggots can no longer survive in the partially digested mass, others demand that the larvae must still be living. I'll leave all decisions regarding this criteria to the reader. |

| #12 persona au gratin Ah, but Zenster, what cheese would be strong enough to stand up to a stinker like him? |

| #11 If it were up to me, that plane would have to be searched before departing for New York. And I'd have to verify that he's still on the plane. I'd give it a fighter escort all the way to the gate too. The guy's too loony-tunes and martyr-happy to be trusted in our airspace. That "large group on the plane" may be a cover for something. Just sayin'. |

| #10 Sure, let him come here, but only for the Roach Motel treatment (i.e., no check-out). Ages ago, our government should have declared this maggot persona au gratin. |

| #9 I was thinkin. If the US stopped giving visas to despots for their visits to the UN maybe the UN would leave on it's own? Nah. Makes too much sense. |

| #4 No can do. Monkey boy is a damn sight more of a threat to America than Cat Stevens, and the singer was on a watch list too. |

| #3 According to Drudge.... He also wants visa's for 25 'security agents' and to leave a 'large group' on the plane at JFK who will not go through US customs. What the hell does he need to leave a large group on the plane for? |
