And their first-ever videoconference to boot!
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ ” Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will speak and take questions at the National Press Club’s first- ever videoconference luncheon at noon on Monday, Sept. 24.

NOTE TO BROADCASTERS: Switched feed is available. Please contact Tiina Kreek in the NPC Broadcast Operations Center at tkreek@press.org or call (202) 662 7510.

If he goes down there, prepare to see the photos of it included in every last campaign post I write from now until the election, all of them emblazoned with the “Brought to you by the RNC” motto. Just my little contribution to the mass scalp-taking that’s going to occur among Republicans if they let this fiasco happen.
Update: Cowboy diplomacy!
