Letterman: It's kind of hard to tell Iran, US presidents apart
David Letterman on Thursday announced a segment on "George Bush vs. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad," promising also that each joke "will be punctuated with a ridiculous sound effect."

Along with celebrity gags and jokes playing off the Iranian president's popular image as a bloodthirsty tyrant, some of the more interesting comparisons were:

"Ahmadinejad: Member of the Islamic Society of Engineers. Bush: Member of the Chuck Norris fan club."

"Ahmadinejad: Speaks in broken, hard-to-understand English. Bush: Speaks in broken, hard-to-understand English."

"Ahmadinejad: Holocaust denier. Bush: Global warning denier."

And finally, "Ahmadinejad: Underlings refer to him as President of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Bush: Underlings refer to him as 'President Numbnuts.'"

1. Bush is much more dangerous
and had done a lot more evil.

2. Ahmadinejad seeks nuclear weapons, can't get them. Bush has nuclear weapons, cannot pronounce it.

3. Glad to know someone still tells the truth on network television.
