Gallup Poll: Rural Whites Prefer Ahmadinejad To Obama

It’s happened again. This time it was the Iranian Fars News Agency that ran a story based on one that ran in The Onion, “America’s Finest News Source.” The article claimed satirically that most white rural voters would prefer to share a beer or go to a ballgame with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad than with President Obama.


Funny, in Austin yesterday I was surprised to see a paperbox on the street with print versions of The Onion. Maybe the State Department would consider making this paper available in all foreign capitals.
