Jackson Death “Without a Doubt” Poses Threat to Democracy in Iran

Looks like I’m not the only person who believes that the Ayatollah and his butt buddy Ahmadinejad are happier than pigs in you-know-what over Michael Jackson’s death:

The Jackson story, paired with Farrah Fawcett’s death and Sanford’s own scandal, “without a doubt” poses a danger in Iran, according to Michael Rubin, an American Enterprise Institute scholar and former Bush administration official.

In an interview with The Daily Beast, Rubin said the issue was already a hot topic among his colleagues in the Middle East.

“To put it this way, the gods are not in favor of hope and change,” Rubin said. “Unfortunately in Iran people are going to prison, but when a tree falls in the forest and there’s no one to hear it, the pressure goes away.”

“Its’ a sad commentary that celebrity still trumps national security in news coverage, but that’s the world we live in,” he said.
