#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.

#7 Poor fellow! He is dying from poor health, he just doesn't know it yet! It'll probably end with a 9mm brain aneurism. [/sarcasm]

#16 If our CIA was any good at all they'd be spreading the word that it was all due to chronic alcoholism ...

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

#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... ;-)

#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.

#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.

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

#25 ...told journalists the president as "indisposed".

That's my excuse when last night's buffalo wings are coarsing through the system...

#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.
