YOhio is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Did anybody catch

Larry King's interview with Ahmadinejad? The whole thing was pretty distracting because the interpreter had an unpleasant voice. I wonder if MA was pissed that CNN had a female interpreter.

He did address the 'no homosexuals in Iran' issue.

Quote:
KING: By the way, you mentioned human rights in Israel. Don't you have some human rights problems of your own in Iran? AHMADINEJAD (through translator): What do you mean by human rights problems?
KING: People protesting that they don't have the same rights as other people? Homosexuals — you said last year, you denied there were homosexuals. There's homosexuals everywhere.
AHMADINEJAD (through translator): I said it is not the way it is here. In Iran this is considered a very — obviously most people dislike it. And we have actually a law regarding it and the law is enforced. It is a law that was passed. It was legislated. And it is an act that is against human principles. A lot of things can happen. It can cause psychological problems, social problems that affect the whole society. Remember that God rules are to improve human life. In our religion, this act is forbidden and the Parliament has legislated about it.

The law he is referring to is one that allows the Iranian government to execute those caught engaging in homosexual conduct.

some level of credibility to "Ahmadinejad". I wonder if LK would have put on Hitler? I guess he would have for the ratings.

Larry King is a buffoon, he seemed to lap everything up.
