The Frog President gets his kiss from Daily Kos

What does Kermit the Frog and Ahmadinejad have in common?

Exactly! Beats the hell out of me as well. One's a muppet and the other's somewhat thought of as a puppet. But leave it to a KosKid to be smitten by her frog prince:

I know I'm a Jewish lesbian and he'd probably have me killed. But still, the guy speaks some blunt truths about the Bush Administration that make me swoon...

Okay, I admit it. Part of it is that he just looks cuddly. Possibly cuddly enough to turn me straight. I think he kind of looks like Kermit the Frog. Sort of. With smaller eyes. But that’s not all…

I want to be very clear. There are certainly many things about Ahmadinejad that I abhor — locking up dissidents, executing of gay folks, denying the fact of the Holocaust, potentially adding another dangerous nuclear power to the world and, in general, stifling democracy. Even still, I can’t help but be turned on by his frank rhetoric calling out the horrors of the Bush Administration and, for that matter, generations of US foreign policy preceding.

Read more if you want to vomit. Some diaries really should be kept private.
