Bush Would Lose Debate With Iranian President


According to an online CNN poll, Iranian President Ahmadinejad would pummel Bushie in a televised debate.

But the two will never debate.

That's not because Bushie fears that the other President might be able to express complete thoughts, but rather it has to do with George W. Bushie's fear of losing status.

Just like high school drama queens, neocon males obsess about such things. Bushie is a high-status preppy who is hyperanxious about maintaining his spot in the hierarchy. And according to the code of high status males, talking to someone deemed to be beneath you will take you down a notch or two on the hallowed hierarchy ladder. And then it would just be so totally mortifying to show your poser face at the Heritage Foundation.

CNN Poll:

Who would win a debate on world issues between President Bush and Iranian President Ahmadinejad?

Bush 37% -- 40540 votes

Ahmadinejad 63% -- 68839 votes

Total: 109,379 votes
