A Personnel Suggestion for Mr. Ahmadinejad

Did you watch all the Ahmadinejad coverage yesterday? Doesn't his personal translator have the most sarcastic, infuriating voice in the entire world? It drove me crazy. I was actually more bothered by her voice than by the lunatic things coming out of Ahmadinejad's mouth. She combines the angry insistence of an eighty year old Middle Eastern woman cutting in line at the grocery store with the haughty quaver of a British school librarian. Mr. Ahmadinejad, I suggest you reconsider your staff.

I had trouble finding the perfect audio of her insane voice, but start listening to this about a minute in and you'll get the idea:

wow, you are so right. her vocal rendition sounds very condescending and very sarcastic. it's like she's saying, "you idiots," at the end of every phrase. this guy definitely needs no further help in alienating the entire world or seeming like a crack pot. do you know for sure it's his personal translator?
