How Can You Tell If Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Is Lying?

Posted by Lorren on September 24, 2007

The answer, of course, is when his lips are moving.

60 Minutes this week had a hilarious interview with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad today. If you’ve got it on Tivo be sure to watch it. You can hear him utter such gems* as:

• What do we need a nuclear bomb for? The nuclear era has passed.
• (After hearing a quote from George Bush that was basically telling him off) I can’t believe that George Bush said something like that. That must be your interpretation of what he said.
• I wanted to visit Ground Zero to pay my respects.

I just couldn’t help but thinking about how Satan is known as The Father of all Lies. This guy was lying through his teeth like crazy. I almost thought that he believed his lies.

The top quote of the evening was at the end. It had me rolling…

“I am a Moslem. I can not lie.”

Too funny!
