What a brilliant stroke, that outreach to Iran Obama tried at the beginning of his presidency.

That's abandoned now, replaced with a little more realism and a lot less kowtowing. But that hasn't stopped President Ahmadinejad from speaking his mind - what little he has of it.

The Iranian firecracker said in a speech yesterday about US leaders, ""May the undertaker bury you, your table and your body, which has soiled the world," he said.

Soiling the world is one thing. Soiling his pants is Ahmadinejad's problem. Now, if he were in a mental institution where he belongs, they would give him a nice dry Depends so he wouldn't get in such a foul mood. But the world lacks the courage to put this fellow away so we are going to have to continue to endure his tiresome, spittle flecked rants against the US and the west for the foreseeable future.
