Stiffing Ahmadinejad

A bunch of significant political figures skipped Ahmadinejad's swearing in. Only 13 of 70 reformer MP's attended, and "a number of the attending lawmakers staged a walk out once President Ahmadinejad began his speech."

Also notably absent, Rafsanjani, Khatami, the influential Tehran mayor, and no representatives "
from the family of the founder of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini."
