Continuing Iranian pressure

Former Iranian President Mohammad Khatami has called for what can only be described as a national vote of no confidence (to be conducted by an outside agency.)

It'll never happen, but it continues this round of pressure tent poled by Rafsanjani's significant Friday sermon.

And, President Ahmadinejad was forced to remove his first (Harriet Miers-like) Vice Presidential pick after substantial pressure from hardliners on his own side.
