"Is there something ghoulish about this?" Larry King has the nerve

[Riddler]

to ask that question when he and CNN thrive on this sort of story. Larry is pissed because it didn't happen during his show.

[nadinbrzezinski]

1. me listening to the BBC

cannot stand OUR MEDIA ghoulish fixation with this

[mnhtnbb]

2. Then why are you listening?

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

12. The poster you replied to said they were listening to British media (BBC) and that they

couldn't stand the ghoulish fixation of OUR (presumably American) media with the execution.

[Counciltucky]

3. CNN calling him "The Butcher of Baghdad"...

Gotta love objective media. Can't just say Saddam will be/has been executed. They have to darken it up further.

Hey, CNN: If you want to be honest about it, point out how he was basically an enemy manufactured by the Republican Party for political gain.

[waiting for hope]

4. Can you also say that perhaps

someone else maybe the "The Butcher of Baghdad"?....just a thought.

[johnfunk]

8. Paul Wolfowitz, Dicky Perle, Don Rumsfeld -- all share the title with Saddam...

n/t

[Bobbieo]

19. Like, which butcher of Baghdad?

[johnfunk]

6. Still, Saddam was a thug. But then, so's Paul Wolfowitz...

and the whole Neocon fraternity. Time for a little punitive hazing...

[bullwinkle428]

7. I won't hold my breath waiting for "The Punisher of Pennsylvania Avenue"...

...although it would rock my world if Keith Olbermann used it in a special comment...

[Counciltucky]

16. "The Terrorist of Texas"? "The Killer of Crawford"?

[Left Is Write]

18. I don't understand why so many people forget that -

Saddam Hussein was funded and supported by the U.S.

Any Bush supporters remember that?

5. i can just imagine george laughing, snickering, chuckling, snorting. he's probably

all giddy and flush--hell, he feels fluffy and rather school-girlish tonight. he's celebrating with a couple kegs and a few lines of coke

[malaise]

9. I'm only sorry that tornado didn't destroy that

sty full of pigs.

[orleans]

10. i thought the same thing. only instead of sty i substituted fu*king

and instead of pigs i substituted assholes

and rather than destroy i was thinking more along the line of "blown away"

and then musing that they would call fema and beg for help

[malaise]

11. LOL

Clearly you didn't see my Fuck you George Bush post today.

I feel sick. Hubby has locked himself away in his study. He doesn't even want to watch BBC with me.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

15. and Jeff Gannon....

you know it's true.
