I don't think Jim was funny at all. He tells what he thinks and it's respectable.
Do you want to know, the opinion of Iranian about American people?
Many American lived in Iran before our revolution in 1979 and right now less than one million Iranian live in US, most of them in California (LA, Orange County). What your media show from Iran?
Majority of Iranian think Americans are honest, kind, manly, brave, simple but somewhat bully (thick-necked, in Persian language "gardan klouft") and less care what they do! the characters that Iranian admire. You can see it in a good "cowboy".
Yeah Iranian (include me) have good opinion about Bush and guys like Jim I think. Beside American saved us from threat of "Taliban" and "Saddam".
I guess even "Ahmadinejad" loves USA! lol
