Unbelievable.

From Molly Ivins, via AmericaBlog:

Remember the ancient past of about a week and a half ago, and the completely false tale that Jews in Iran are forced to wear badges?

It was the latest attempt to provoke a war by calling every desired enemy “the new Hitler” — a new one of which seems to crop up these days about as often as American Idol winners, although dictators are often better at choosing songs and wardrobe.

And it was debunked as complete fiction in about nine minutes.

Nonetheless, the guy who first printed this rubbish has just been invited to the White House. To meet with Bush.

As an expert on Iran.

I would like to report, by the way, that Iran has just invaded Poland, begun manufacturing Volkswagens, and singing the Horst Wessel song. Where’s my invitation to the White House?
