CHOOSE YOUR STUPID TASTELESS JOKE: Will you make Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf into the Black Knight from Holy Grail? Or into Joe Isuzu? Holy Grail jokes make references to a movie we've all seen a jillion times, so they certainly lack freshness. And--by the way--there's at least one little kid who lost three of his limbs in this war. As Bruce and Andrea have pointed out. Joe Isuzu, on the other hand, is actually funny, in keeping with several recent 80s cultural revivals and--this is the clincher--is not the choice of Andrew Sullivan. The choice is clear: when you're making goofy jokes about blatantly ridiculous Iraqi information ministers, choose Joe Isuzu. It's the patriotic American thing to do.
