Empty chairs and disgust: Ladies man Ahmadinejad plays feminist, blames 'uncivilized zionists,' capitalism

The insane Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad addressed the United Nations General Assembly today. Twitter watched so you didn’t have to. The crazy, it scorches.

A-jad says capitalism is the source of the world's problems. Hasn't he been listening to the Obama Administration about The Video?

Yeah, Iran is all about social justice. Unless you get accused of witchcraft. Then you're in deep trouble.

A-jad's translator sounds a little worn out by all the crazy.

Howard Dean weighed in, with no “Yeaaarrrggh.”

The biggest hit? The empty seats.

The U.S.'s empty seat at the UN for Ahmadinejad's speech is the first time I can heartily applaud Obama's empty seat.

Yes, unlike earlier in the week.

The despot then railed against The Jooooos!!!11 as “uncivilized Zionists.”

So #Ahmadinejad at #UNGA went all Marxist, followed by a bout of messianic fervour. Before returning to the Zionist 'enemies'. Obvs.

A week later, and they remain mum. Not one word of denouncement from President Obama, who is too busy demonizing one of our own American states and and ignoring devastating floods. Too bad we can’t call ourselves “Los Women”. Maybe he’d give a hoot then. Ambassador Rice also refuses to comment, which is the status quo with her, evidently. The State Department, headed by Hillary Clinton, she of “not staying at home baking cookies” because that would be demeaning fame, is silent. Except for one anonymous official, who said this:

“We’re not going to stand up and cheer,” the official said. “By the same token, that is less onerous than the Human Rights Council because women in Iran, relative to other countries in the region, actually have greater rights.”

“You don’t have women placed in head-to-toe burkas in that country,” the official said. “You have women elected to the legislature in the country.”

Oh, well, as long as you don’t cheer. It’s not like it’s human rights and all. It’s just pesky women! And it’s not like they require head to toe burkas! And by not required, he means they totally are required. It’s national law and Iran recently announced they are cracking down on it, especially if a woman dares to be suntanned.

But, hey, tolerance! He continued to drone on and on as only the truly insane can.

BREAKING: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has just finished the first 98,000-word sentence of his U.N. address.

Oh boy, Ahmadinejad is starting his speech with Adam. This could take awhile.

Ahmadinejad just completed longest run-on sentence in human history…oh, wait, it's still going… #unga

Holy hell, Ahmadinejad really loves bulleted lists. #shutup #please

Somebody hand Ahmadinejad a Big Gulp so Bloomberg will tackle him and end this.

Mahmood Ahmadinejad spoke for about 10 minutes about Shia Muslim belief in the 12th Imam Al-Mahdi and how he'll save the world soon.
