Sadaam the new Marion Barry?

[JEDI]

For those who dont know, Marion Barry was a 5 term Mayor of Washington DC who was convicted of crack cocaine while serving as mayor.

Many years later, he's back into DC politics and won a seat as a DC Ward (city council) member. It is widely believed he wants to run for Mayor again.

After a short stint in jail, i can see Sadaam playing a major role in Iraq again.

hell, if a top general that served under Sadaam is a general again in the new US IRaq regime, why can;t Sadaam?

Saddam will be dead, more than likely. And the Democrats don't like others mentioning Marion Berry's crack and hooker problems.

I do not see him coming back.

THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL has issued a no-nonsense warning about a new, highly virulent strain of sexually transmitted disease. This disease is contracted through dangerous and high risk behavior.

The disease is called Gonorrhea Lectim (pronounced "gonna re-elect him").

Many victims have contracted it after having been screwed for the past
4 years, in spite of having taken measures to protect themselves from this especially troublesome disease.

Cognitive sequellae of individuals infected with Gonorrhea Lectim include, but are not limited to, anti-social personality disorder traits; delusions of grandeur with a distinct messianic flavor; chronic mangling of the English language; extreme cognitive dissonance; inability to incorporate new information; pronounced xenophobia and homophobia; inability to accept responsibility for actions; exceptional cowardice masked by acts of misplaced bravado; uncontrolled facial smirking; total ignorance of geography and history; tendencies toward creating evangelical theocracies; and a strong propensity for categorical, all-or-nothing behavior.

The disease is sweeping Washington. Naturalists and epidemiologists are amazed and baffled that this malignant disease originated only a few years ago in a Texas bush.

Are you serious?

There is no way that the Sunnis in Iraq will become the guiding hand in that country again, ever. And certainly not Sunni Ba'athists. We'd see civil war, partitioning, and perhaps a visit from Iranian forces before Hussein gets behind the wheel again (none of this is particularly likely).

Don't be too critical, this is a lib that is actually typing his own post rather than cutting and pasting it.

True it is pretty short sighted and dense, but it is at least his original work.

This guy should be the model for the forums.

I foresee Saddam being handed a lifetime prison sentence or the death penalty, in regards to his trial.

Marion Barry is fun. I feel he honestly represents what politicians are just under their plastic veneer. But as far as Saddam, they are going to lock him away and forget about him. Perhaps he'll write a sequel to Mein Kampf, and come back...
