Iranian Conservatives Split Vote On Parliamentary Elections

The Iranian conservatives split their votes in their country's parliamentary elections, resulting in a showing of approximately 60 percent.

Apparently the rift between Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his former supporters is wider than originally perceived in the mainstream American press.

Interestingly enough, some U.S. officials are saying that the Iranian cleric leaders "cooked the votes." But isn't that what the U.S. government has been doing here in the United States as well? Aren't we hearing some hypocrisy from them on this matter?

This latest tidbit gives new meaning to the old phrase "The pot calling the kettle black."
