Some days ago, before the bloodshed, Flynt and Hillary Mann Leverett penned a piece headlined “Ahmadinejad Won. Get Over It.” They wanted to assure us that a 62.6% victory for Ahmadinejad really wasn’t at all far-fetched. Well, now Iran’s own election authorities have conceded that there were widespread voting irregularities in 50 cities. Mind you, this is what the officials are admitting. So just imagine how much worse the truth is. Oh, and remember this next time you read anything under Flynt Leverett’s byline.
