What the MSM considers link-worthy blogging on Ahmadinejad
When last we looked in on the Seattle Post-Intelligencer’s bloggers, they were mocking the FBI’s attempts to track down two suspicious men on Seattle-area ferries by holding a haiku contest.
So, what do they link to today in the aftermath of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s appearance at Columbia University? Student newspaper accounts, perhaps? Nope. Photoblogging of the events in NYC? Nope. blog commentary round-ups? Nope. On-the-ground reports from the counterprotests? Nope.
Try: A gossip site contest asking readers whether Ahmadinejad is “Hot or Not.”
Seriously.

What else can you expect from the loons representing the MSM in the Seattle area? I really used to like the Puget Sound area in my younger days. Doubt if I will even go back for a visit, just can’t put up with the liberals and anarchists these days.
How excellent was that video?!!! I especially loved the part of the High Schoolers attending, the future looks brighter!
oh! and screw the PI….
Cool video, I don’t know if I would bring my 3 year old down there, like one of the ladys that was filmed. Hide the children from the Columbia nuts!!!!!!
The PI is considered MSM? That’s giving the benefit of assuming circulation and readership isn’t it?
They’ve been kept afloat off some printing agreement via the Times for quite awhile now. Won’t break my heart when the ax finally falls. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch of lefties.
Wondering whether a man who wants to wipe other countries off the map is “hot or not” is something I’d have expected to have seen debated in my high school newspaper days.
There seems to be a serious lack of adult supervision at the Seattle P-I.
I vote – NOT. He is NOT hot enough. Israel will fix that soon as a nuke is in his future. That is not hate speech, just what I think the future holds when Iran makes the mistake of not taking Israel seriously. How many times will people of this world underestimate what it takes and the price you pay for eliminating the Jews? I do not think you will see Israel go down without a fight and they have a great military.
I wonder sometimes if the struggle is worth it.
While we are all excited about Ahmadinejad, our Senators are crafting a way to keep the borders wide open. This time it is the “Dream Act” next week they will find another way to sell us out
Wow. I am stunned.
There seems to be a serious lack of adult supervision at the Seattle P-I.
Yeah – or a lack of attendants at the asylum.
Maybe there are NO adults in the area…..they just appear in adult bodies.
“Faux News Alert”
Two asain men sought questioning by the FBI for suspicious behavior on the ferry system were apprehended when entering the Seattle PI building to complain “unfair” treatment for not being in the “Hot or Not” contest.
MM, this post of yours is an example of what bloggers are calling nitpicking. You look at blogs from the other side, no matter how obscure or little read, find something you object to, then try to claim that this tars the entire side.
Can’t you see that the post is a joke? If Charlie Chaplin could make fun of Hitler, why can’t someone in Seattle make fun of Ahmadinejad?
Speaking of which, did you see that Ahmadinejad was a laughing stock at his speach at Columbia? He lost far more stature by going than he would have lost by being prevented from going. Free speach, even for Ahmadinejad, even for a lier like him, spreads the truth.
He’s not a laughing stock in his country, wake up.
100% agree with this.
You may have a point, but with the PI much of what they support is so far left that it’s hard to know whether a particular effort on their part is serious or meant to be funny. They’ve kind of entered the realm of “you can’t make this stuff up.”
Perhaps (hopefully)he lost stature by allowing everyone to see him. Unfortunately, I think to much of the world he’s being played as ‘victim’ of the mean President of Columbia by saying mean things to the President of Iran.
From the BBC link above:
Lee Bollinger’s behaviour toward his guest [Ahmadinejad] was simply so rude
Saeed, Tehran
Exactly Ann! Bollinger is going to be the epitome of the “ugly American” and Ahmedemijad got his “counting coup” moment. Badly played all the way around by Columbia, the Press Club and all others who legitimized him the last few days.
Not hot…unless it floats your boat to be blindfolded and chained to a wall. Then, I understand, he has lot of experience. Wink. Wink. Nod. Nod.
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer blog is cowardly. Non-confrontation (in regards to this topic) is cowardly. Pathetic.
It should be obvious to all:
Post-Intelligencer – What you call someone who has lost their intelligence.
A clear description of those who work there.
Iranians will only see what the Ach-meister wants them to see, and in every pig-poking frame he will look like a conquering hero. Someone may as well photoshop him a crusade cape, banner and sword.
My vote would have kept him out of here; I don’t really want him breathing my air.
If the free speech issue comes up, nothing says that he has to speak here.
The Seattle papers shame the entire population of Washington state.
They are NOT smarter than my 5th grader.
Shame on them.
Move along now, nothing to see here… Just the MSM and American Left pandering to Imamadaboutjihad.
When he shows up glowing in the dark, then he will be “hot enough,” IMO.
