Jewish Kos Diarist Has "Crush" On Ahmadinejad

And you thought Daily Kos was a hate site...

Why I Have A Little Crush on Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

I know I’m a Jewish lesbian and he’d probably have me killed. But still, the guy speaks some blunt truths about the Bush Administration that make me swoon...

Okay, I admit it. Part of it is that he just looks cuddly. Possibly cuddly enough to turn me straight. I think he kind of looks like Kermit the Frog. Sort of. With smaller eyes. But that’s not all...

I want to be very clear. There are certainly many things about Ahmadinejad that I abhor — locking up dissidents, executing of gay folks, denying the fact of the Holocaust, potentially adding another dangerous nuclear power to the world and, in general, stifling democracy. Even still, I can’t help but be turned on by his frank rhetoric calling out the horrors of the Bush Administration and, for that matter, generations of US foreign policy preceding.
...
Monday, when Ahmadinejad speaks at Columbia University in New York, I’ll be listening.  Maybe with a bottle of wine and some soft music playing in the background.  If I can get past the fact that, as a Jewish lesbian, he’d probably have me killed, I’ll try to listen for some truth.

Proof that loves knows no religion or sexual orientation when it comes to Bush Derangement.
