Is Qusay Iraqi for craven coward pussy?

[PhilDragoo]

Actually, he reminds ME of the shreiking left wing, lying heads on ABCNNBCBS.

Tonight we begin with what the Bush Administration is calling its "invasion of Baghdad."

We'd like to point out that not all of us in the news business are particularly impressed with Mr. Bush's claims.

We have credible reports from Iraq's minister of information that there are in fact no we repeat no American tanks in the capital city.

Certainly the Centcom briefings are not as persuasive as this autobody undercoat I've sprayed on my head to cover my scalp.

[Stultis]

CLASSIC!

[tame]

LOL! Keep 'em comin! What about Tom Brokaw? Hee hee.

[facedown]

EXCELLENT!!!

[wimpycat]

You can tell that officer is Southern, with the way he says, "I do believe..."

[mt tom]

i understand that hitlery is looking for a VLWC campaign manager for 2004 he looks like a strong candidate

[Redcloak]

There's a similarity here.

[Howlin]

Don't you just LOVE FR for that one reason?????

[Sofa King]

"The Americans are nowhere NEAR the Ministry of Information. We're, um, remodeling! Yeah, that's it!"

Baghdad Bob seen with his new sunglasses:

[Dutchgirl]

the best he could stammer out was that Bush was "stupid, and he is condemned. He is....condemned!"

So, not only a liar, Baghdad Bob is a plagiarist, I recognise that dialog from "Plan Nine from Outer Space"...

"You see? You see? Your stupid minds! Stupid! Stupid!!!"

[luvtheconstitution]

I think there's a typo in his title - it should be
"Mister Misinformation"

[PhilDragoo]

And so, Mr. President, as a warrior, albeit a disbarred one, sir, your contention is that when Tommy Franks says he is in control of Baghdad it all depends on what is is.

[Kevin Curry]

I can't believe Queasy doesn't have access to Fox News or CNN. I suppose one the theory would be that Baghdad Bob and the generals are so desperate to remain on his good side--and he is so deep into denial--that these flagrant whoppers are actaully believed by Queasy in the same manner that some tinfoil hatters are still convinced the moonlanding was faked.

I hate to get nit-picky on this, because it's a great article. That being said I must point out that in the movie "Animal House" Marmalard was in the stands with Dean & Mrs Wormer plus the famous Carmine the 'made' mayor. The person that screamed "All is welllll", and was trampled by the crowd was a pledge in a ROTC uniform by the real name of, here we go, Kevin Bacon.

Sorry, just had to correct.

OMG the horrid double post. Humble appoligies!!!!

[laz17]

The sad fact is that most Arabs actually believe this guy.

Even sadder is the fact that many liberals believe him too. Like the sub-human, mutant denizens of DU.
