<p>[Mahmoud</a> Ahmadinejad Wants To Be Iran’s First Astronaut](<a href=“HuffPost - Breaking News, U.S. and World News | HuffPost”>HuffPost - Breaking News, U.S. and World News | HuffPost)</p>
<p>Is this for real? Literally laughed out loud…</p>
<p>Maybe a one way ticket would be a good idea…</p>
<p>Why not? He’s been a space cadet for years!</p>
<p>Didn’t they claim to have sent a monkey into space? I guess they will also be the first to send an ass oh, I mean a donkey into space?</p>
<p>He is crazier than I thought! :eek:</p>
<p>As my mother would have said to him, “Good! I’ll help you pack!”</p>
<p>I think we’d have to give out numbers to all those willing to help him pack!!!</p>
<p>LoremImpsum. Dang it, you beat me to it!!!</p>
<p>Shoot him out of a cannon and see how far he goes.</p>
<p>(Is anyone else hearing “To the moon Alice!!” in their heads right now?)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>you did see, or read about Senator John McCain’s joke on the subject? </p>
<p>Here is a direct cut and paste of his tweet:</p>
<p>John McCain @SenJohnMcCain
So Ahmadinejad wants to be first Iranian in space - wasn’t he just there last week? “Iran launches monkey into space”</p>
<p>There was so much criticism of that comment, he later followed up with:</p>
<p>John McCain @SenJohnMcCain
Re: Iran space tweet - lighten up folks, can’t everyone take a joke?</p>
<p>I like McCain’s tweets.</p>
<p>At least space cadet Mahmoud won’t have to interact with any of those gays we have in the West while he is in space.</p>
<p>I suppose the death of Ralph Cramden was a major blow to their lunar flight program</p>
<p>McCain is right, people need to lighten up. What makes a nutcase like Ahmadinejad so deserving of respect that one can’t even joke about him?</p>
<p>seems like a good joint project for Israel and Iran… maybe they can build closer ties and this is the key to Middle East peace</p>
<p>that said… very funny from mccain… also unprofessional.</p>
