Sirte, 11 Sept. (AKI) - Coca Cola is an African beverage, Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi was reported as saying on Monday.

Speaking during celebrations for the 7th anniversary of the African Union in Sirte, his hometown, Gaddafi claimed that the US-drink was African as "its essences come from our plants and so multinationals must pay compensation to us."

I didn't think he could get any nuttier. He proved me wrong.

Should we keep some of these creeps around just so we can get some laughs out of them?

Sounds like that short-lived series where the old black dude said that Larry Bird was really a black man.

Sierra Tango Foxtrot Uniform Omar. Do you want more Reagan surprises shot down your throat???

Yeah, ok, right. The check is in the mail. Wait, I drink diet coke, how does that figure?

Close, Mr. Qaddafi, but Atlanta is in Georgia... despite the MARTA acronym.

We don't need him for that, this country is crawling with liberals.

Next thing you know, this guy will tell us that Albert Einstein was really an African.

[the anti-liberal]

I'm not sure if he understands Intellectual Property or Copyright and Patent law...

If he finds a way around those well, more power to him.

Is anyone else here old enough to remember when Russia used to claim that they invented everything?

Forgive my ignorance, but didn't cocoa leaves originate in South America?

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

crack kills.

[Graybeard58]

That was Fred Sanford. He said Larry Byrd was "passing" for white.

[the anti-liberal]

So that's where Gore got it from!

Or Clinton the first black president? Note that one for the history books!

[Westlander]

Yes, first in everything.

The Libyan leader once claimed that British poet and playwright William Shakespeare was actually an Arab immigrant to Britain called Sheikh Zubeir.

Speaking of Coca-Cola, I am now wiping it off of my monitor. I wish I had heard about this years ago, Sheikh Zubeir would have been a great Freeper handle.
