Ahmadenijad (A-bomb) sent Bush (G-Dub) a letter that suggesting some “new solutions” in the context of US-Iran relations:

Iran’s leader has written to President Bush proposing “new solutions” to their differences in the first letter from an Iranian head of state to an American president in 27 years, a government spokesman said Monday.

Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki delivered the letter to the Swiss ambassador on Monday, ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi told The Associated Press. The Swiss Embassy in Tehran houses a U.S. interests section.

These guys just don’t get it. If A-Bomb really wanted to work things out with G-Dub, he should have tried a sad puppy birthday card with a little handwritten note, something like You are the best President ever—deserving of great respect.

Or, like, a mix tape. Start off, maybe, with the theme from Friends, go right to the Beatles “We Can Work Out,” toss in Dylan’s “All I Really Want to Do” to soothe any commitment fears, four or five more songs and then … close strong with Marvin Gaye.

Guaranteed normalization of relations right there.

No way Bush makes it all the way through Let’s Get it On without picking up the phone.
