Iran's Fars News Agency picked up a story today, headlined, 'Gallup Poll: Rural Whites Prefer Ahmadinejad To Obama.' Unfortunately for them, the story was neither indication of just how marvelous Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's UN speech was, nor of how many people simply can't stand Barack Obama. It was a piece from The Onion.
The Onion's story reads:
According to the results of a Gallup poll released Monday, the overwhelming majority of rural white Americans said they would rather vote for Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad than U.S. president Barack Obama. [...] According to the same Gallup poll, 60 percent of rural whites said they at least respected that Ahmadinejad doesn't try to hide the fact that he's Muslim.

beat me to it!

For once the Onion might not be kidding!

Exactly right.
Both Larry O'Donnell & Tommy Christopher can get jobs with Iran's Fars News based on the solid professional news judgement they've shown us here in the U.S.

It might be a joke, but it's probably correct. Republiklans certainly prefer Amadinejad to Obama.

would love to hear a single time either one has f$%ked up that badly without retraction

These folks are pretty smart, wouldn't you say? Any wonder why they keep denying the Holocaust?

Tough choice for Onion voters
On the one hand we have:
An extremist who's rhetoric soars much higher than his capacity to enact policy, presiding over the economic collapse of his country while hating on Israel.
on the other hand we have Ahmadinejad.
