Breaking news: Apparently Ayatollah Khomeini was a pathetic compromising moderate RINO* squish:

One of Iran’s most powerful politicians has provoked controversy by suggesting that the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, leader of the country’s Islamic revolution, wanted to drop its signature chant, Death to America.

I hadn’t realized “Death to America” was a formal “signature chant,” presumably like a national anthem or license-plate slogan. But I suppose if your citizenry is jumping up and down in the street for the CNN and BBC cameras 14 hours a day, it helps if they’re all chanting from the same chant-sheet. No word yet on what the Ayatollah wanted to replace “Death to America” with – “The Lion Sleeps Tonight?” “If I Had A Hammer?” “Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral?”
