On The Sauce

In response to the Honorable James F. Elliott, who asks whether I am "on the sauce": Well, no. But after viewing Saddam in his undies, I wish I were. By the way, in the newish tradition (or fad) of heartfelt American women offering themselves in holy matrimony to tattooed guys serving lengthy terms in the local hoosegow, I wonder if the aforementioned photos of Saddam might inspire some gay guy to offer his hand, or something anyway, to Saddam? Even better: Upon conviction, let us show our humanity and forswear the gallows for Saddam, opting instead for some serious time at a randomly-chosen correctional institute right here in the good old U. S. of A. El Presidente-of-the-Islamic-Republic-of-Iraq-for-Life will go in Saddam, and he'll come out Maddam. Justice is poetic indeed.

I don't think rape is poetic or funny.

Check that. As George Carlin showed in his bit entitled "Rape Can Be Funny", rape can indeed be funny. But you're no George Carlin.

Just to point out the factual error in your post, Iraq was a secular nation filled with Muslims, not one governed by Sha'ria (which I assume is what you meant by Islamist).

However, give the Iraq Constitution a few more months and, thanks in no small part to the U.S. of A., you can call it "Islamist" as a matter of law.

So, just to get this straight, you're in favor of forced sodomization?
