Frankly, I’m more surprised that he didn’t have a heart attack. I think it would have killed me stone dead.

I always imagined Iran to be kind of sandy, so big men covered in grass with guns should stand out like a Wookiee.

I’m disgusted. I for one will not be spending the rest of the day going through the campaign gallery page and I suggest that you don’t either. Really, don’t, there is nothing to see.

1OK it is very likely that this video will get killed by the Lucas Corporation some time soon but while it lasts it is pretty funny. This YouTube user has gone out of their way to translate that lovable little droid from Star Wars. My particular favorite is the way that R2-D2 treats Jar Jar Binks. That flopsy eared muppet get short shrift from the little fella.
Anyway enjoy it while you can.
