Troops Discover Lush Saddam Hideaway
From the AP: BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- The doors of the town house opened to reveal a playboy's fantasy straight from the 1960s: mirrored bedroom, lamps shaped like women, airbrushed paintings of a topless blonde woman and a mustached hero battling a crocodile.Posted By Ravenwood at April 12, 2003 06:19 PM | TrackBack Ohmigawd ... how will the Saddam-apologists - I mean, anti-war, peace loving people -- explain THIS away??? I mean, torture and imprisoning children I can understand, but TACKY is too much!! Posted by: rkb at April 12, 2003 06:25 PMSky News called it a love shack. Posted by: michele at April 12, 2003 06:27 PMTvery thought has infected my brain with awful sights and sounds. I keep seeing a topless buxom blonde singing "Saddy, baby, won't you come down my chimney tonight ... " Argh!! Posted by: rkb at April 12, 2003 06:31 PMNews Flash!Saddam has been photographed alive! (Is this Saddam or just another double?) Posted by: jerry at April 12, 2003 06:32 PMYeah, baby, YEAHHHH!!! Posted by: dewey at April 12, 2003 06:35 PMAnd the US went and JDAMed his mojo... Posted by: Cowboy Bob at April 12, 2003 06:40 PMOh dear, this has to be Saddam's worst nightmare. For a man who imagined himself to be the second coming of Saladin, I imagine there's nothing worse than going down in history as a complete laughingstock, a two-bit, tin-pot Stalin-wannabe of a peasant who could never win a real war and who had all the ostentatiousness of Cesare Borgia but none of the taste. Posted by: Bob at April 12, 2003 06:52 PMBlonde woman? Like an American blonde woman? Seems his fantasies are a bit more western than he let on.... Posted by: Syzygy at April 12, 2003 07:02 PMA little off-topic, but speaking of Saddam's bitches, has anybody heard from Peter Arnett? I was kind of hoping Ollie North would meet up with him in Baghdad. I haven't heard of his fate. Posted by: Cowboy Bob at April 12, 2003 07:04 PMOhmigawd ... how will the Saddam-apologists - I mean, anti-war, peace loving people -- explain THIS away??? I mean, torture and imprisoning children I can understand, but TACKY is too much!! And the worst part about the whole thing? The couches had those clear plastic slipcovers that make that rude phhtz sound when you sit on them. The horror. The horror. Posted by: Kev at April 12, 2003 07:14 PMWell, plastic slipcovers are better than the alternative: stains on the chesterfield... Bob, the humiliation is getting to more than Saddam. Oh, this one was too funny. Thanks, Ravenwood, I'm still laughing. Posted by: Meryl Yourish at April 12, 2003 07:34 PMI guess it was too much to hope he had taste... I'm glad the palaces were all empty. Posted by: Phil Hornsey at April 12, 2003 07:42 PMPeter Arnett's latest appearance: Baghdad Bob speaks out on looting. Posted by: Tracy Adams at April 12, 2003 08:26 PMWhat I wonder is, did he torture the decorator before or after this job? Heh. Posted by: Kathleen at April 12, 2003 08:56 PMPost a comment
