Iranian President Ahmedinejad, speaking at a National Right to Life dinner yesterday, denounced the “theory that human life actually exists”. The Iranian president, known for his denials of the Jewish holocaust in Nazi Germany and that terrorism existed in the Middle East prior to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, as well as his recent statements that there is no homosexuality in Iran, has earned himself a rare place in the Darwin Awards Hall of Fame.
In the prestigious St. Regis Hotel Potomac Ballroom, President Ahmedinejad - to jeers from the NRTL audience - was quoted as saying, “I cannot imagine why you would claim a right to something, which we in Iran know does not exist. Perhaps you have such things in the United States - with your George Bush - but in Iran there is no such thing as life.”
National Right to Life President, Wanda Franz, could not be reached for comment. However, a staffer at the NRTL Headquarters related that President Ahmadinejad did not actually attend their dinner, but the Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories dinner, which was coincidentally being held in the Mount Vernon Ballroom of the same Washington, DC hotel.
After this statement, a unnamed official close to the Iranian president was quoted as saying that the Mount Vernon Ballroom does not actually exist, so President Ahmadinejad could not possibly have spoken there.
