OH MY, SADDAM -- TRES METROSEXUAL





I'm digging the whole Ryan Seacrest get-up. It's rather, oh, rad. I never knew former genocidal dictators had a fashion sense. Notice the 8 o'clock shadow on that chiseled face of his? Whoo, man, that just says "badass."

But, in all honesty, I really miss the Monica Lewinsky beret his whole regime wore. Those were pretty rad, too.

But invading Kuwait, gassing a quarter of one's nation, hosting really strange parties that would make that orgy scene in "Eyes Wide Shut" seem tame -- not rad at all. Everyone to their own, I suppose.

Oh man, I'm loving the coverage. It's so ...bullshit. "Reporters" are dodging the real questions by inviting biographers and "specialists" to talk about why Saddam's voice cracked, why he was wearing a white shirt, why he didn't shave entirely, why he combed his hair, why he ...every stupid and insignificant nuance -- covered all over cable news. It's a perfect example as to how American news is covered.

How does one defend Saddam in a high court? My GOD, you must have some SERIOUS balls to do something like that. Not all the money in the world could make me want to defend that asshole anywhere. Plus, he probably still smells like spiderhole. Gross.
