Bloomberg to escort Iranian nutjob to Ground Zero? Update: Poll time – Where do you want to send Ahmadinejad? Update: NYC backs off amid confusion; Update: Columbia U. will host him
Update: Wow. I was just joking about the campus visit in my poll. And now this:
Also today, the president of Columbia University, Lee C. Bollinger, announced that Mr. Ahmadinejad would speak at the university on Monday.
I’m sure he’ll get a warmer welcome than Columbia gave the Minutemen.
Update: Request denied.
Oh, holy hell. The NYSun reports:
In a move that has stunned New York, the Bloomberg administration is in discussions to escort the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, to ground zero during his visit to New York next week, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said today.
The Iranian mission to the U.N. made the request to the New York City Police Department and the Secret Service, who will jointly oversee security during the president’s two-day visit. Mr. Ahmadinejad is scheduled to arrive September 24 to speak to the U.N. General Assembly as the Security Council decides whether to increase sanctions against Iran for its uranium enrichment program.
Mr. Kelly said the NYPD and Secret Service were in discussions with the Iranian mission about the logistics for the possible visit, and whether it will take place at all. He said Mr. Ahmadinejad would not be allowed to descend into the pit for safety reasons related to ongoing construction there.
“There has been some interest expressed in his visiting the area,” Mr. Kelly said. “It’s something that we are prepared to handle if in fact it does happen.”
Mr. Kelly said that Mr. Ahmadinejad had not indicated why he wants to visit the site of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
Contact Nanny (or should it be Ninny, now?) Bloomberg here.
Poll time: Where should Ahmadinejad be escorted next?
Allahpundit’s outrage-o-meter: White hot:
[I]f Bush and Rice let him go down there, especially in the wake of Petraeus and Crocker reporting the threat Iran poses to American soldiers in Iraq, you have no idea how grave the political fallout will be. Consider this an alert from the grassroots early warning system. You ignored the warning we gave you this summer about the amnesty bill. For your sake, don’t ignore this one.
Via Stephen Spruiell, here’s Mitt Romney’s letter to the U.N. asking that Ahmadinejad’s invitation to address the General Assembly be rescinded.

Why would we allow this terrorist to get his jollies by permitting him to visit the site of his buddies’ bloodbath?
That is just insane.
Are you flipping kidding me? What next, a guided tour of the USS Cole?
Wow, this is nuts. Pandering to Iran so they can do a little publicity stunt at the expense of all the 9/11 victims and their families. OUTRAGEOUS!
Here’s an Idea….. take him down to Club Gitmo and let him take a tour of that!
If this isn’t another reason to ship the U.N. off to some Godforsaken third-world country I don’t know what is.
This bozo shouldn’t be allowed into this country.
WHY::
is this worm allowed in the US?
is this scum being hugged by the UN?
is this swinesqueeze breathing our air?
Incredible – read the nytimes earlier and they were making fun of the people in the south for being bubba’s. Then you read this and you have to say who is really dumb.
Lead him to ground Zero and then arrest him.
Have we lost our collective minds?
What’s next? A dinner party for Assad?
What the !!!!!!!!! Have to censor myself on this one, this is beyond the pale!
Perhaps Bloomberg can grant him Citizenship and bring his family over for free education as well.
Seriously, has Bloomberg lost his mind?
Bloomberg is pandering to the Gobalists who think talking to Iran will cause them to stop supporting terror.
I wonder if they will send Bin Laden an invitation too???
Somebody needs to tell the Democrats that its ok to tell people “NO!”.
Email your outrage to Mayor Bloomberg here.
What a great photo-op for the radical Islamists!! Take him to the Pentagon and the field in Pa. where I’m sure he will want to lay a wreath! I don’t think Rudy would let this happen!!
Why is the UN still on US soil?
Not enough choices in that poll. Send him straight to Hell.
All in favor, Say “I”.
how ’bout a nice hot air balloon ride,,,Is it duck season somewhere?
Just shoot the bastard and be done with it. In fact just nuke turtle bay and be done with it.
Siberia.
*buys AJ a cold one.
If it’s that unsafe, for heavens sake let him down there! I wonder if Roosevelt would have given Mussolini a tour of Pearl Harbor in say 1943?
All I can say, Bloomy, is don’t walk too close to him while giving him the tour.
(Chortle)…you’re kidding me, right? At the VERY minimum, he makes America look like complete and total DONKEYS. For the love of……We are going to be the laughing stock of the Muslim world. They crap all over us and we give them a VIP tour of their handy work.
The US is offically burining and Bush is playing the violin.
I’d like to send him home.
In a box.
With a stake through it!
Hm. Ahmadmanijad near a big pit.
Having a “300″ moment here…
I

There are still several US citizens “missing” in Iran. He wants to wipe Israel off the map. Their IED’s and other arms are killing our young men and women on a daily basis. And the Mayor of NY wants to act as his tour guide?????
Club Gitmo’s too nice for Ahmadhimmijob, unless it’s to a firing squad based there.
Oh, and I.
It sounds like a great, great opportunity for a covert sniper mission if you ask me. And think of the message it’d send to any other radicals. Maybe his buddy Chavez can join him, stand next to him at just the right angle, and we can all save the cost of the extra bullet. What the heck, we’ll be fighting them at some point anyways.
Of course, MorOn.org and Code Pinko will be saddened. Hmmm, all the more reason to do it.
A quick shot at the kill ‘em all crowd: it’s supposed to be “aye.”
I certainly don’t want to send anyone to Hell or anything like that, but I must concur that it is outrageous that Bloomberg is allowing someone representing a country like Iran to visit Ground Zero.
I often make a big fuss about gay rights and women’s rights in these comments. Well, it would be mighty hypocritical of me to support gays and women and then turn a blind eye to Iran, wouldn’t it? Their human rights record is deplorable and unacceptable.
I love diplomacy. I’m a typical liberal dove. But diplomacy with Iran is impossible until they make a good faith effort to improve their human rights record and insist upon a dialogue that doesn’t involve wacky Holocaust denials (and forcing Ahmadinejad to visit the Holocaust museum is brilliant) and insane anti-American rhetoric.
I’m not holding my breath.
How about escorting him to Ground Zero and encasing him within the cornerstone of the new “Freedom Towers”?
Otherwise…. ” Aye “
Can you be furious and nauseated at the same time? I agree with Raging Republican’s thoughts above.
This monster should not be allowed in this country much less Ground Zero!
Forcing him to visit the Holocaust museum is like giving Hannibal Lector reading rights to autopsy reports.
He’s not going to learn anything,will enjoy it too much, and probably utter the phrase, “Oooh – I didn’t think of that!”
I think they should take him for a long walk off a short pier.
Update courtesy Allahpunit – NYPD’s rejected the Ground Zero request for security reasons.
AAARRRGGGHHHH!!! Where did I put that “d” key? Allahpundit.
Hallelujiah!!! I hope that’s true.
God bless the NYPD and the FDNY too.
Itinerary for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad visit:
1. Ground Zero
2. Shopping in Borough Park, Brooklyn
( Traditional Hacidic Jewish
luncheon included )
3. Quick stop at Rosie O’Donnell’s for
a guest web-cam event
4. Unguided, unescorted ’scavenger
hunt’ in Ozone Park, Queens, one-
time home to such lovable Americans
such as John Gotti and others in his
‘line of work’.
And some people ask me why, that I would just like to leave and “go bamboo”, sometimes. Well, you got an answer.
I voted, BUT if Guantanamo is a One-Way Ticket on an indictment that would be more appropo. Or of course ‘The Nether Regions’ to which he will eventually slither anyway.
Where is Jimmy Carter?
Wonder how many emails Bloomberg is receiving…
I hope th NYPD has put a stop to this idea as mentioned above. Unreal. It is a slap in the face to all who lost loved ones, as well as to all Americans.
On second Thought –
VISA DISAPPROVED
Hell is too good for him.
Has the Bush administration lost its mind? First Shamnesty and now taking a terrorist to Ground Zero? I can only imagine the propaganda the demon will use when he goes back to Iran. IMO, he shouldn’t be allowed in the US.
Jimmy Carter is probably on the planning committee and begging to escort yet another of his beloved terrorists to Ground Zero.
Michelle:
My vote for where he should be escorted is for Walter Reed so that he can visit with troops injured by Iranian IED’s.
Sorry Wade.
Bloomberg is proof that too much money makes you crazy.
Is he going to hold his hand too!?!
On second thought, how about after his little VIP tour he gets a private audio screening of Janet Reno’s new 3 CD set – “Song of America,” a 50-tune “history book’”. Apperantly this little beauty debuted Tuesday….

(Torture)….
Here is the message I sent to Bloombutt via Michelle’s link:
leepro
That was winded.
I sent:
“Are you just stooopid?”
I
Might as well escort him and all his technicians on an all access pass to Los Alamos nuclear facility…
I agree with most of what you said (especially the “hell” part). However, Mayor Bloomberg is not part of the Bush administration. He is a city official elected by the citizens of New York City.
Winded? Maybe it was, but since he is “stooopid,” I felt uncontrollably compelled to spell it out for him. Don’t wory, though. Either way he still won’t get it.
The Mind Races –
Escort him to ‘Ground Zero’, as long as he never is allowed to leave. But of course we couldn’t wish him harm, but we could give him a tour of all the cement overshoe monuments in ‘The East River’, a 3 hour tour with 2 hours of air.
There is always a personal inspection of Jimmy Hoffa’s personal ‘Skybox’ at ‘The Meadowlands’. Actually that’s a myth, they were pouring foundation at the ‘Renaissance Center’ in Detroit that day. There was no reason to transport the ‘delegate’ all the way to NYUK.
We could televise his tour of Ellis Island pointing out profusely the proper way to emmigrate to the United States.
We could take him to Coney Island – where his mind was born.
We could show him 2 fields in Pennsylvania:
One at Shanksville
One at Gettysburg; Do you think he’d get the message? ‘He will lose’.
Check out this poll (it is closer than I thought, who voted yes?).
Looks like the NYPD came to the rescue:
http://www.wcbs880.com/NYPD-Rejects-Iran-President-s-Viewing-Request/968136
You left an option out of your poll that I would vote for.
He should be escorted to jail and then tryed as an accomplice to the murders of American soldiers in Iraq by Iranian operatives.
Bloomberg is truly stooopid if he allows this.
However, he’s still been invited to speak at Columbia University. The kids there probably consider him a reasonable voice against the “Jewish lobby”, Bush’s “fascist state”, and the “wars we’re fighting for the Zionists”.
I’ld let him go to Ground Zero if the Marines could give him 21
gunsrounds.Can’t we move the UN to Sao Tome’ y Principe or some such garden spot.
Before I forget, “AYE”.
While I would never advocate the indiscriminate killing of animals, I could make an exception in this case. Also, the comments are a little light in caliber, about .50 should do the trick.
JP
Better suggestions on what A-mad-ditti-ditti-da-ditti-do can do:
1. Bridge tours with Ted Kennedy
2. Hunting trip with Dick Cheney
3. Barbeque with Janet Reno
Un-effing-believeable.
All great suggestions. As for caliber, I would favor 25mm.
He could have a “guided tour”, courtesy of the Air Force. We’ll call it “a day in the life of a JDAM”. He can fly with one of our Strike Eagles. Only he’ll be strapped to the wing, and we can precisely drop him on Hugo Chavez’s house, since they’re such great friends, from 30,000ft. At Mach 2.5.
Whatcha think of that idea?
I’m thinking Haiti, Zimbabwe, or North Korea. All suitable host nations for the UN.
Will the mayor install a footbath so Little Hitler can wash his hooves before saying a prayer on hallowed ground?
Will the spirits of our 3,000 rest at this continuing sort of atrocity?
Let Little Hit take the UN home with him, because it is a “thwart disnatured torment” to us!
There will be outrage in this country like never seen before. There will be posters, banners, t-shirts, you name it of Allah rivaling anything the Danes did. Bloomberg has lost his mind.
hawkeye54 –
Paris would be perfect. They deserve each other, or at least ‘The Hague’.
1-Cheytak M200 408 system: $8,000.00
.
Hotel room in NYC……: $350.00
.
1- 408 round………..: $1.75
.
.
Right place at the right time….PRICELESS!
How bout we spread IED’s throughout the field at Giants Stadium and then see if he can make it from End Zone to End Zone.
1) Encase him alive in an airtight, plastic block, say 4×4x10.
2) Let him suffocate while encased in the plastic block.
3) Put a nameplate on it: “The Monster who Caused 9/11″.
4) Put him on permanent display at the WTO site.
I
AJ, I like that idea. Meet me there at midnight Sunday night. Shouldn’t take too long if we each bring a shovel.
Heck with digging Trinity , hire some illegals! lol
Good point. Way to think smart. I think I saw a few cutting the lawn down the street.
We could always make him listen to one of Kerry’s speaches get tazed and croak.
He’s still going!
I’ll bet a few of NY’s finest and bravest will be there to greet him if he tries.
PS, Is it just me, or does the picture of him shown on the front of this blog look like he is placing what appears to be a dinner napkin on his head?
yet another choice for the poll:
Send him to lower alabama.
heh
Does anyone else find it interesting that they seem to be going out of their way to let everyone know the exact time and place of where Ahmadinejad is going to be during his trip? Its like they are trying to tip off all the
crazys(insert adjective here) out there so that they can go vigilantly on his sorry butt.Every single New Yorker impacted by the deaths of friends of family should block this man’s view. The photo op he will send to Iran is beyond an insult.
Although none of my friends died there, if I lived anywhere near NYC I would show up to protest this animal with cloven hooves.
Do not let him through.
Oh, and this scum should go at his own peril. Who is paying for the Secret Service escort? Yep, you got it, us.
Oh, and AYE!
Crash his bath time and toss a toaster in…fry his monkey butt.
See if he makes the same face as when he smiles.
Or better yet, we could force feed him 2 gallons of my patented “Bear Mush”….by thunder! he’d twist himself inside out.
Then there is the Tijuana Option: stuff him in a sack filled with Durango scorpions and drag him from the bumper.
I think Mayor Bloom FREAKING BERG needs to have his head examined.
About the UN: Before we send it packing we withdraw every dime of its funding. Prostitution is illegal.
Did ya hear the one about the terrorists in St. Louis who got out after serving 5 months for procuring a land mine and heavy machine gun from an FBI operative?
And the one where CAIR and the ACLU are suing the FBI over surveillance of alleged terrorists?
NutJob’s visit to NYC is a slap- but these other two are downright dangerous.
Yikes.
Of course Columbia will more than welcome a terrorist, Holocaust denier and advocator of the destruction of Israel. Their type of guy. Now if he was a Republican conservative, he would be protested, shouted down so he couldn’t speak and maybe have a pie thrown at him. Those people at Columbia sure have their priorities straight.
I clicked on a link to the NY Times and was reading comments from the people who actually read that rag and was stunned at the number of people who thought this despot should be allowed to visit Ground Zero. Their reasons were unbelievable. It made me sick.
Katieanne-
Were there any self-identifying WTC family members giving their opinions?
Given Columbia U’s history of anti-Semitism and Israel-bashing, Ahmedonutjob would feel right at home.
Bear Mush through a Beer Bong, I’d pay big bucks to see that! lol.
