How far out in left field do you have to be to interview Ahmadinejad?

Iran rejects Stone film request: Entertainment: International: News24:

"'We have already seen his documentaries - even though Stone is considered a member of the opposition group in the US, it is still part of the Great Satan,' he said."

Oliver Stone may have been trendy-lefty enough to make a documentary out of an interview with Cuba's president for life, but that's not good enough for Ahmadinejad. Maybe Ahmadinejad is just too polite to say he was disappointed by the failure of Commandante (the Castro flick) to generate much business.

For all the lefties out there (and I do mean out there) who are looking for common ground with the likes of Ahmadinejad, the news that Stone is just another tool of the Great Satan's propaganda machine ought to be a wake-up call. Alas, the lesson they will take from this will likely be that they must redouble their attacks on Bush, Christianity, capitalism, etc. to enhance their appeal to truly enlightened leaders like Ahmadinejad.
