Gateway Pundit:
OUTRAGE!... CBS: “Meet Iran's George W. Bush” (Ahmadinejad!) ...  Update: Bush's Message to the Iranian People  —  CBS compares Iran's Holocaust denier, womens right's abuser, America-hating radical to George W. Bush.  —  CBS republishes vile New Republic article—  Meet Iran's George W. Bush
Andrew Sullivan / The Daily Dish:
The Rovian Islamist  —  Ahmadinejad's bag of tricks is eerily like that of Karl Rove - the constant use of fear, the exploitation of religion, the demonization of liberals, the deployment of Potemkin symbolism like Sarah Palin: … Think of this regime as Cheney and Rove in a police state setting, and you see what's been going on.
Allahpundit / Hot Air:
Video: Iranian thugs beat protester to death in broad daylight  —  There's no official confirmation that he died but that's the word on the street.  Best-case scenario is that they “merely” beat him into unconsciousness.  Rather than give you just the video of the beating, though …

Iran: The View from the White House  —  The White House has not issued a statement expressing support for the protestors declaring the election illegitimate.  But neither has anyone in the Obama administration said a public word accepting the legitimacy of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's reelection.
Robert Stacy McCain / The Other McCain:
Karl Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Rove?  —  Do the publishers of The Atlantic Monthly have no shame at all? … Really, Sully?  I mean, really?  WTF goes through someone's mind when they dream up an idiotic comparison between (a) Karl Rove, a Republican political strategist, and (b) Mahmoud Ahmadinejed, a Jew-hating genocidal maniac?
Allahpundit / Hot Air:
CNN producer: Iranian students say they're doomed if Obama accepts the Iranian election  —  Much depends on the meaning of “accepts,” though, doesn't it?  I'm sure we'll get some patented Hopenchange drivel tomorrow about “grave concerns,” etc, but if Iran's kids are expecting The One to walk away …
Dave Price / Dean's World:
The High Cost Of Accommodation  —  Just as newly minted President Barack Obama appears bearing apologies and overtures of friendship, Iran's autocrats seem bent on throwing away the last vestiges of democratic legitimacy the regime possessed by crushing protests, killing unarmed protesters …

Max Boot / Commentary:
The Bright Side of Ahamdinejad's “Win”  —  On the principle of “the worse the better” for our enemies-and, make no mistake, Iran is our enemy-it is possible to take some small degree of satisfaction from the outcome of Iran's elections.  —  If the mullahs were really canny, they would have let Mousavi win.

Will Hutton / Guardian:
Paul Krugman's fear for lost decade  —  As analysts and media hailed the tentative emergence of green shoots last week, Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman caused international shock with a prediction that the world economy would stagnate just as badly, and for just as long, as Japan's did in the 1990s.
