The King's Speech (or OMG did you hear this maniac?)

Since apparently there at least a dozen ways to spell Colonel Khaddafi‘s name depending on what newscast or website you’re looking at, I won’t dwell too much on how I spell it here.  In fact, I think I’ll change my spelling of this creature’s name each time I use it.

Did any of you guys see this maniac’s speech today?  Accusing his people of having been drugged as an explanation for their uprising?

OMG.

Now picture that there are actual adults in Libya that believe him and trust him.  They might be the stupidest human beings alive.  Either that or they’re on the payroll and just pretending.  If you are over 12 years old and Gaddafi’s ramblings appeal to you, go find a drifter and pay him $50 to throw you down a flight a stairs.  Because you deserve it, that’s why.

Meanwhile, the son is even scarier than the father – Kadaphee Junior was educated in the West.  You would think he would have used this moment to push the older, more idiotic Kadafie aside and become the reform president the people want.

Nope.  He’s joining Dad’s craziness instead.

The two of them are urging their supporters to “spill the blood” of the protesters.  Seriously.  Who the f*** talks that way, spill blood?  What’s wrong with the Libyan people that they would put up with this for forty years?  Maybe they deserve Gadaffffi after all.
