Remember David Duke, the somewhat telegenic Ku Klux Klansman who made an effort to go mainstream for a while? A quick glance at his Wikipedia page reminds me that he did, in fact, once win an election, a seat in the House for one term back in 1988. Since then, he has run unsuccessfully in bids to be a US Senator, Louisiana's governor, and yes, the President of the United States.
I guess those losses, not to mention some time in the slammer for tax evasion and mail fraud, have convinced him that the strategy of posing as a normal human being wasn't working.
I mean, I have no other explanation for why he would attend a conference in Tehran, Iran, whose sole purpose seems to be generating publicity for the Holocaust deniers of the world.
David Duke, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, BFF? That's almost as nauseating as Paris and Britney.
If you have a strong stomach and absolutely nothing better to do, Duke has posted the text of the speech he made at the conference on his web site. Among other howlers, Duke thanks Ahmadinejad for holding a conference devoted to free speech.
Free speech? In Iran? Lucky for him that he didn't give thanks for the opening buffet's delicious coffee and Danish Roses of the Prophet Muhammad.

It's hard to tell who's the bigger freak. David Duke, or the moron we're currently saddled with. There is one trait that the two of them do share. They both pretend to be mainstream to get elected, then veer off in the bushes of the far extreme right.
