CNN bizarrely salutes “Iran’s Michelle Obama”

CNN compares the wife of an Iranian presidential candidate to American First Lady Michelle Obama. Naturally, that comparison is an extremely flattering one.

The awkward comparison stems from the upfront role Zahra Rahnavard plays in her husband’s bid for the Iranian presidency.

Never in the history of Iranian presidential elections has a candidate put his wife in the forefront of his campaign.

Wherever Mousavi — a centrist candidate — goes, Rahnavard is usually nearby.

“We look at her and we say, ‘We want to be like her in the future, ‘” said Shakiba Shakerhosseie, one of 12,000 people who packed into Tehran’s indoor Azadi (Freedom) sports stadium to hear Rahnavard speak.

CNN neglected to mention if this is the first time in her adult life that Zahra Rahnavard has been proud of her country.
