Outrageously Obscene!
Oh Mr. President, you immoral beast
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has been accused of indecency after he publicly embraced and kissed on the hand an elderly woman who used to be his schoolteacher.At a ceremony on Tuesday ahead of Iranian teachers' day, Mr Ahmadinejad was photographed and filmed by state media stooping to kiss the woman's hand and then clasping her arms in an embrace.
The ultra-conservative Hezbollah newspaper, which is not related to the group in Lebanon of the same name, criticised him on the front page.
"The Muslim Iranian people have no recollection of such acts contrary to sharia law during Islamic rule [since the 1979 revolution]," it said.
"This type of indecency progressively has grave consequences, like violating religious and sacred values."
The elderly woman, who was not named, wore thick gloves along with a headscarf and long black coat, meaning that Mr Ahmadinejad avoided any skin contact.
Imagine if Bill Clinton was President there...

I bet that Ahmadinejad can define "is", though.

It doesn't work that way, you know. He will be publicly reprimanded. She will be publicly executed.

Maybe the briefest glimmer will come to him - a fleeting suspicion that, hey, is THAT why I've been so mad at the West? How on earth can anyone think that what I did from respect and gratitude could lead to pr0n on demand?
Just possibly maybe.

Well, if it did, the Flash of the Obvious would rival the sun. I'm going to break out the SPF-30 just in case.

They'll probably stone the poor woman for tempting him

She's obviously a wanton slut sent by the Great Satan™ to lead poor innocent RoP yutes astray.
