Rush had a good one today. He said the Iraqi Information Ministry said that they had attacked the US on our soil, taken control of Yankee Stadium, and were marching down Broadway to seize all theater tickets.

I caught his rantings on FNC last night. Did anyone else notice the Fox translator laughing at this goofball?

Oh, thank you so much for posting this! I was unaware of this publication and I love the present column and loved equally well the column on Tom, Dan, & Peter which I saw when I went over to their site -- it's just as hysterically funny as this one!

Yeah - earlier in the war that translator was doing his best to stifle it. These days he's not even trying.

Left to right, Colin Ferguson, defendant; Colin Ferguson defense attorney.
Colin Ferguson, the man accused of killing six and injuring 19 on the Long Island Railroad in 1993, announced that he plans to take the witness stand next week and cross-examine himself. He continues to insist that he didn't shoot anyone and that it was a white man that took his gun, while he was asleep, and proceded to shoot everyone.
To spearhead his appeal next month, Ferguson has denied rumors he had selected the Iraqi minister of information.
"Dot mon geev Colin Ferguson thee heebie-jeebies; he possessed of demons," Ferguson said.

Actually, it all rings rather familiar. Me thinks Baghdad Bob must have graduated from an American CEO University (correspondence courses?) You all recall Ken Lay in the final days before Enron declared bankrupcy? I tell you, I watched several successive CEO's of a billion $ enterprise talk the talk of Ken Lay and Baghdad Bob all the while the company was steadily sinking and finally sank to Chapter 7. Happy talk and nothing but! Standard Operating Procedure!

Rush said the dems should hire "Baghdad Bob" to run their radio show; he's so good at disinformation, and he's funny.

Given his conviction to carry this to the end, I suspect Saddam has his family somewhere 'safe' and told him what to say. Until the regime falls and he knows those that threaten him and his family are dead, he'll continue to the end.

Saw it. Durn near died. Tell me the folks at FSN weren't having fun with that one!

I remember when I first saw Baghdad Bob after the war began - the man was in hysterics after the decapitation strike occured: the best he could stammer out was that Bush was "stupid, and he is condemned. He is....condemned!"
The fact that he couldn't find anything more creative than that spoke volumes. Iraq is run not only by murderers and tyrants, but idiots as well. Chemical Ali, I've heard, can barely read, Uday is a psychopath, Qusay obviously gets his military strategy with the free prize in Corn Flakes boxes. Their propaganda is dim-witted: endless music videos showing young men in cheap suits on a stage, singing Saddam's praises, interspersed with video of Saddam meeting world leaders - also, pictures of parades of missiles and soldiers doing that "hopping march" that only idiot dictatorships can make the military do. No, the Allies are not stupid - Iraq is run by stupid, venal, evil men. I hope that Baghdad Bob learns how truly stupid HE is.
Regards, Ivan

Over on another thread, they're talking about how our ELINT guys have been listening in as various Iraqi Generals call in to Qusay (he seems to be alive, and in charge) to bring him up to date. Apparently, it's the Generals who are feeding this crap into headquarters. They are telling Qusay that they are defeating the Americans, that they have re-captured the airport, that they still hold all these cities down South, and so on. It would seem that the penalty for bringing Qusay bad news is sufficiently high that even top Generals won't do it. Baghdad Bob might not even know he's lying; he may be passing along exactly what the Iraqi military is telling him. The good news is that all this BS has probably led Qusay (who may be the only one left alive) to wait too long to make his escape. Our own press assisted with this, by talking about all these "pauses" and logistical snafus that were supposedly going to have us cooling our heels outside Baghdad for at least a couple of weeks. By the time Qusay figured out he'd been had, the escape routes were closed and the tanks were in the city. |
