NYC tells Ahmadinejad to piss off:

NEW YORK (CNN) -- City officials in New York have denied Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's request to visit the site of the destroyed World Trade Center next week, a police spokesman said Wednesday.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad asked to visit ground zero, but New York city officials said no.

The controversial, outspoken president wanted to "pay his respects" and lay a wreath at the site of the 2001 al Qaeda attacks during his visit to the U.N. General Assembly, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said, citing Iranian officials.

But workers are rebuilding the foundations of the site, "and it would not be possible for him to go where other people don't go," Kelly told CNN.

Iranian officials have not put in any additional requests to visit the public platforms at ground zero, police spokesman Paul Browne told CNN. But, he said, "If there were a further request, we'd reject it" because of security fears.

Good for NYC! I got yer "respects" right here, pal. Although come to think of it, wouldn't it perhaps be more fitting to dump this slime bucket at Ground Zero dressed in nothing but a pair of My-Little-Pony girl's briefs and a spine-snapping collection of pimp-rope and tell him he has to make it back to the U.N. on foot?

UPDATE: Malkin reports that Mahmoud may try to go anyway, despite what the NYPD says, and with Secret Service escort. This is getting ridiculous.
