Heil, Khamenei?
Iran’s supreme leader on CNN’s homepage right now
June 19, 2009
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei wasn’t giving a Nazi salute when a Getty Images photographer snapped him for the picture now displayed on the CNN.com homepage, was he? Some alternative theories:
• “Guys, shhh.”
• “Here we go, yo.”
• “By the power of Jesus, I command these demons to leave your body.”
• “No, I think the right side needs to be just a little bit lower.”
• “If you’ve finished the silent amidah, please be seated and turn to page 381.”
