CNBC reporting Gadhafi may have been shot and killed!!!

[CallMeJoe]

...BTW, why are there so many ways to spell this guy's name? Which one is correct? I have seen it start with a G, Q and K.

It's Arabic. Any western spelling is just an approximation.

Nothing outside of CNBC is even speaking to this, so it's likely unfounded.

CNBC was in a especially pathetic state today. I wouldn't be surprised if the whole station is being playing a ruse to drive up the price of a barrel of oil.

Western media has absolutely no clue what's going on in-country. Don't trust a word.

aljazeera has had by far the best coverage of all these uprisings. well, for media. i've doubled my number of twitter followings in the last month or so. very pleased that the persiankiwi account is back, too.

these things don't fit into the talking head format that CNN has decided it needed after fox started kicking their ass in ratings. hey, CNN, i don't want politics bullshit 24/7, i want news. remember when you used to do that? stop trying to be fox.

I think the Colonel is going to be on state TV and announce "The Rumor Of My Demise Has Been Greatly Exaggerated."

Saw an interview that CNN was showing. I think Will Ferrell would be perfect to play him...or if we are lucky, Will Ferrell is Kaddafi's double.

Gonedaffy works for me.

So much for that, no news of his death now.

 

[Dulanic]

If anything I've seen news of his insanity on state radio saying that the rebels are druging people and Bin Laden is to blame along with the US. I don't know when these radio broadcasts from him happened however. So the odds he is dead are low IMO.

I just hope Elvis hasn't left the building with him.

Not to worry....rumor has it that Elvis was seen chasing the colonel down and karate chopping/crotch kikcking the liv'in crap out of 'um for the lousy impersonations the colonel was doing of him.

 

[IGBT]

the city of Berkley hopes this is just a vicious rumor started by capitalist pigs.
