Poor Fox News can barely fill out five slots in its wonderful "DESPOT HOUSEWIVES" charticle, but still it is a splendid and hilarious thing to behold. Unfortunately they run out of steam by number 5: "Parvin Ahmadinejad is very rarely seen even when beheld in public, as her hard-line husband follows a strict form of Islam that requires women to wear a full-body hijab. In fact, almost nothing is known about Mrs. Ahmadinejad — her age, her schooling, her sign of the Zodiac –because she stands quietly by in a conservative Muslim theocracy, where women are raped the night before executions and face up to 80 lashes for refusing to cover their hair." WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS HORRIBLE WOMAN AND HER HORRIBLE RAPEY COUNTRY! Also, "Jimmy Choo-style"? Was it a knockoff or not? What gives?

"Fist full of diamonds"? An unmade Sergio Leone sequel?
We have a clip.

OMG I had no idea Ahmadinejad was married. (To his mom.)
1) A "full body hijab" isn't a hijab anymore than a raincoat is a "full body hat". Mrs. Ahmadinejad wears a chador or niqab, from what I've seen.
2) Several sources I trust more than Fox News (NY Times, for one), identify Parvin Ahmadinejad as the president's sister, rather than his wife.
3) Its appears to be impossible to discover Ahmadinejad's wife's first name, as Google yields nothing and the people in my office who work with the Middle East don't know either.
AHA! Ahmadinejad's wife is named Azam-Sadat Farahi, per the Iranian Students' News Agency. http://www.isna.ir/ISNA/NewsView.aspx?ID=News-1273059&Lang=E
WRONG WRONG WRONG, FOX NEWS.
in other news, I seem to be the only one who cares.
