Paranoid Ahmadinejad Cracks Down on Bloggers

Ahmadinejad looking rather paranoid these days?

Story here.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the tyrant rattling the nuclear saber and who promises to "annihilate" Israel, got really mad when someone suggested online that his personal hygiene left something to be desired.

He fired the president of the phone company, had four people arrested, took other legal action and accused those involved of conspiring with the Israeli foreign intelligence service Mossad, according to the Iranian opposition website Rooz Online.

Tehran has taken a tough stance against opposition on the Internet. Many of the nation's estimated 70,000 to 100,000 bloggers have faced harassment or imprisonment. The regime has acknowledged monitoring text message traffic.

What... no one "disappeared"? Come on... of course some folks must've been beheaded for insulting Ahmadinejad.

Oh, and this blogger is just sooooo shaking!
Hey, Mahmo I'm-mad-in-a-jihad, you smell like a crap-assed billy goat! Whatcha gonna do?
Scary man... whatcha gonna do? Come on over and you can kiss my bum! Yeahhhh!
