US diplomats are urging Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to simplify his last name, or change it outright. “Something needs to be done for the sake of both diplomacy and locution,” says Discord’s Chief White House Correspondent Cokie McGrath. Even President Bush himself told Ahmadinejad, “Remember those twenty six words that never should have been said during that infamous State of the Union Address? Well, you’re name is longer.” Iranian operatives suggest the Iranian President might be willing to drop the “jad” off the end in exchange for weapons technology.
