Wikileaks: U.S. viewed Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as the "The George Steinbrenner of Iran"

This is an outrage. Says the Gray Lady:

An American diplomat (called) Mahmoud Ahmadinejad the "The George Steinbrenner of Iran" in a leaked U.S. cable detailing the president's meddling with his country's national soccer team.

George is turning over in his grave. For starters, he never condoned facial hair. And how many times has Ahmadinejad personally demoted Henry Cotto to Columbus? Twice? After the fifth time, we'll start taking seriouisly the comparison.

George -- at right -- compared himself to only one world leader.
