Blogroll Buzz: Infidels Are Cool and the Champion of the Dispossessed
 |
TIME has gone off its rocker. If I wasn’t person of the year (or you, or your neighbor, or Spongebob Squarepants), TIME would have made Iranian president Ahmadinejad its person of the year.
Their love letter to the “normal” president starts as such:
"For a man of such outsize ambition, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad tries hard to seem normal. He drives a 20-year-old Peugeot and spends a few nights a week at a modest house in a residential neighborhood of Tehran. When he visited New York City in September, his wife brought dates from Iran to save money on food. And then there is the Jacket, the bland beige windbreaker he wears even for affairs of state, projecting the image he prefers for himself as champion of the dispossessed, a global Everyman."
Funny, I imagine his wife brought those dates because she needed a snack. Did she live on the dates and eat nothing else the whole trip? Please! As for the jacket, sounds to me like he has bad taste in fashion.
Yeah, the Jacket is not that inspiring. But the photo(shop) used in the article...well that's another thing. I was thinking it looked like Ahmadinejad's version of Sgt. Pepper. It inspired me.
Click the photo to see.
