Two Funny Things

1. How great was Qaddafi today? I mean, classic. The Guardian has the best re-cap:
He tore up a copy of the UN charter in front of startled delegates, accused the security council of being an al-Qaida like terrorist body, called for George Bush and Tony Blair to be put on trial for the Iraq war, demanded $7.7tn in compensation for the ravages of colonialism on Africa and wondered whether swine flu was a biological weapon created in a military laboratory. At one point, he even demanded to know who was behind the killing of JFK.
All in all, a pretty ordinary 100 minutes in the life of the colonel.
2. Moving onto Lebanon, Qifa Nabki again cracks me up with his "unique" take on Lebanese politics.
wouldn't you love to see
wouldn't you love to see Qaddafi interviewed by Glenn Beck?
That man has livened up
That man has livened up countless Arab League summits for bored journalists.What a comeback. The old
What a comeback. The old master throwing down the gauntlet to the younger generation of Chavez/Ahmadinejad types. Planting his flag in the ground and declaring the crazy dictator speech queue starts here and you wannabes can get in line. I only hope someone can get some sports commentators involved in the next OPEC summit to do it justice.
Qaddafi should have asked
Qaddafi should have asked for 50 quadrillion. Better to shoot higher and negotiate down to 7.7 trillion. He doesn't give you the hour after hour of Fidel Castro but he packs so much into a speech.
Did you also record his
Did you also record his dripping praise of the CIC? or did you "miss" that?
But what did he wear?

OK, found the pictures.

Love his broach. Madalene Albright must be jealous.
Did anyone notice what
Did anyone notice what wasn't funny? the sincere hope of Obama becoming the permanent ruler of the US? or did you miss that?

Bud, I saw that. I couldn't
Bud, I saw that. I couldn't laugh were I was at the time. It was very hard to break out laughing.
That speech . . . I can't believe that someone did that. Was it an SNL spoof?
There hasn't been a more
There hasn't been a more entertaining performance at the UN since old Nikita took off his shoe and banged it repeatedly on the table.
Bravo Gaddafi. Encore!

Dr. Evil, it's 2009. That amount of money doesn't even exist!
"Just take a step back
"Just take a step back there, Chavez, lemme show you batshit crazy done right."
According to the NYT,
According to the NYT, General Assembly speakers were allotted 15 minutes each. Qaddafi allotted himself 90 minutes. According to the UN website, the morning and afternoon sessions should have had a break between 1:30 and 3pm. That break (for lunch, a nap, the bathroom, etc?) was gutted singlehandedly by Libya, and I am sure the other delegates were thrilled.
I thought the best part was Qaddafi's proposal during his long speech that UN be moved out of NY because, "All of you are tired with jetlag, very tired. Physically speaking you are very low. All of you are asleep."
I don't see the humor in
I don't see the humor in state sponsors of terrorism.

Qaddafi says great stuff
Qaddafi says great stuff whenever he appears...some choice ones from an address he gave at the Cambridge Union in 2007:
On Darfur:
“It starts with a quarrel over a camel and it becomes an international issue.”
“Isra-teen. Or Isra-tine. Whatever.”
“We think that the behavior of Reagan was due to the Alzheimer’s he has suffered.”
On why Libya doesn’t need the atomic bomb:
“Are we going to hit Israel with an atomic bomb? No. As I said, In Israel there are one million Palestinians!”
On Dick Cheney:
“He behaves like Reagan. I hope Dick Cheney is not sick.”
At least he left the flyswatter in Libya this time... (photo here: http://www.commondefence.com/archives/2009/09/from-the-archives-qaddafi-...)
On Africa:
“We are living in harmony. We have the same color."
"wouldn't you love to see
"wouldn't you love to see Qaddafi interviewed by Glenn Beck?"
That's the winning caption. Not to mention it would be absolutely hysterical.
They're both so crazy (although I am very entertained by Beck) they both might go for it.
Rupert, you listening?
How awesome is
How awesome is this....
NYPost: "After struggling to turn Khadafy's insane ramblings at the UN into English for 75 minutes, the Libyan dictator's personal interpreter got lost in translation. — “I just can't take it any more,” Khadafy's interpreter shouted into the live microphone - in Arabic."
