MY FAVORITE BAATHIST: Franklin Harris has one, the man who shall forever be known as Skippy:
I admit it. I like Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf. Sure, he's the Iraqi information minister, and for all I know he could be a war criminal. But you just have to like a guy who can stand on a rooftop and tell you that U.S. forces are not inside Baghdad even as you can plainly hear automatic gunfire a few blocks away.
And he does it with a straight face.
We've all heard that the first casualty in war is the truth, but this is overkill.
So, if al-Sahhaf survives the war and doesn't wind up in prison, he should come to America. He can have a stellar second career as an advertising pitchman. He can be the new Joe Isuzu.
You should read the whole thing. It is, of course, far funnier if you remember who Joe Isuzu was. Er, links via Franklin.
