Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad asked permission to lay a wreath at the World Trade Center site when he comes to New York City next week, but the request was denied, a police official said Wednesday.

The Iranian president, who is arriving Sunday to address the United Nations' General Assembly, had asked the police department, the U.S. Secret Service and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey earlier this month for permission to visit the site of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, police spokesman Paul Browne said.

The police and Secret Service provide security to visiting heads of state.

2. one of our local reich-wing radio hosts (Bud Hedinger) in the Orlando area

is sure trying to get his mentally-deficient listeners fired up over this.

They want to way-lay him on his way to the memorial.

Such big talk coming from these chicken-hawks.

One guy actually thought that junior ought to meet him at the memorial and "body slam" him since this would be such an obvious mismatch - junior being in such great shape and all. They had this serious discussion about how this would go down.

Damn, these guys are stupid. No wonder this country is beginning to have such serious problems.

3. Bush seems to think "security reasons" means the Iran prez is a threat.

I mean, based on his press conference nonsense.

4. 40 years from now President Jenna Bush will be laying a wreath at the graves of

the Islamofascists SS brigade, during her state visit to Iran.
