Let ‘Em Dangle
November 5th, 2006 at 7:47 am by Preston Taylor HolmesSurprisingly, The Butcher of Baghdad was convicted of crimes against humanity and will be visiting the gallows soon.
The former Iraqi president was convicted by a Baghdad court for his role in the killing of 148 people in the mainly Shia town of Dujail in 1982.
His half-brother Barzan al-Tikriti was also sentenced to death, as was Iraq’s former chief judge Awad Hamed al-Bandar
Former Vice-President Taha Yassin Ramadan got life in jail and three others received 15 year prison terms.
Another co-defendant, Baath party official Mohammed Azawi Ali, was acquitted.
One hundred and forty eight people from Dujail were killed as collective punishment for a failed attempt to assassinate Saddam Hussein in the town.
Somewhere in Bel Air, you can hear the soft sounds of Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins clutching each other and sobbing uncontrollably.
On a side note, if Ramsey Clark were any kind of a man, he would take the noose right alongside Saddam as a show of protest and solidarity. But since he’s not, he’ll probably take a six-figure book deal instead, chronicling his beautiful time in Saddam’s garden.
Also… looks like John from Wuzzadem is up early too and requests an amen.

I question the timing.
And shouldn’t this time up to the election be better spent beating up on homos like Mark Foley and that preacher guy nobody’s heard of?
How dare Saddam Hussein interrupt a good fagbashing. But that’s probably just the “secularist” in him. The ACLU-type sort that he is.

I hear Tim, Susan, Danny Glover and Mike Farrell are trying to get Saddam’s sentencing hearing moved to California…where, once he exhausts his appeals, Saddam should take the needle sometime around the year 2070.

Necktie Partay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where is all the cheering of Bush in the MSM? After all, without his intervention, this good news would not be happening.
Thank you, W, for removing at least one madman from the face of the planet!

The Verdict Is In: Saddam Gets Death Sentence…
Death For Saddam! Looks like the ol’ rope and tree justice.
Saddam Hussein has been found guilty of crimes against humanity and sentenced to death.
The former dictator will be hanged, the court in Baghdad’s Green Zone complex ruled….

I wonder if Katie Couric will break out her post-election mourning dress early (I’m sure she’s confident she won’t need it this year).
November 5th, 2006 at 2:42 pm
Look, I don’t want to burst your bubble, but you’ve got the wrong guy. Saddam was over at my house on all the nights when those 180,000 people died. He never killed anyone, not even a fly!
He’s a patsy. I think it was the Jooos!
November 5th, 2006 at 2:47 pm
CAN I GET AN AMEN?…
Guilty (Duh). Death. By Hanging. Oh, yeah. Now is the time on WuzzaDem when we dance! Automatic appeal? Can’t we just hang him now? More good news: Fox News is reporting the judge threw noted asswipe Ramsey Clark out of…

That figures, Kevin. Whatever Katie Couric does, I hope she does it fully clothed. Either way I won’t be watching, though.
November 5th, 2006 at 4:34 pm
Let me be the first to innoculate you against the stupid cr*p you’ll be reading over the coming week.
This is no big deal because:
1. OBL is still at large!
2. Rummy shook hands with Saddam!!
3. Bush has killed more people than Saddam!!!
4. THE TIMING!!!!
5. Saddam wasn’t a threat, Iran and No. Korea were!!!!!
OK, now let’s get on with this party. Who brought the Doritos?
November 5th, 2006 at 5:28 pm
BS, Gordon! Saddam was never the threat. It was Gomorrah! Saddam was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Sadly, because of this ruling, Gomorrah will likely walk
Saddamy is bad, but Gomorrahy is worse. When will people learn!
(This may not make sense, but it was fun to write. And in the end, isn’t that all that matters?)

More on Saddam…

Sorry Gordo, I thought we were supposed to bring neckties to a Necktie Partay. Lets send Kevin for the Doritios and see if he comes back with Gohmorrah who last I heard was just walking around out there. Spooky.

Bush hails verdict as milestone for Iraq
…
President Bush celebrated Saddam Hussein’s death sentence as a victory for “Iraq’s young democracy” …
November 5th, 2006 at 9:22 pm
OK, Jane, fine. I brought my finest polyester tie, Cool Ranch Doritos and Kevin’s sanity.
BTW, is Gomorrah the ancient biblical city or the monster that Godzilla fought?
November 5th, 2006 at 9:47 pm
Dagnabit, I thought Gomorrah was an STD.

Maybe in Jersey…

Glad to see him brought to justice. It was totally worth 3,000 soldiers’ lives and half a trillion dollars. This is the reason all along why we invaded Iraq, right?
Now, let’s not stop here. There are a lot more two-bit, murderous dictators bent on world domination still at large. We’ve shown it can be done! Let’s go get ‘em!
November 6th, 2006 at 4:12 pm
Godzilla never fought Gamorrah! If he had he would have kick Gamorrah’s butt and all those people would have been spared. It is more likely that Gamorrah used his rocket assisted turtle shell as a WMD and then paid the U.N. to hide him.
November 6th, 2006 at 10:39 pm
I was warned that if you don’t wear a Saddaam-skin condom, You would catch Gammoreah.
