(2006-12-30) — Reporter Bob Woodward said today he would soon allow his Washington Post editors to publish a secret interview he did in 2005 with former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein in which the dictator questioned U.S. President George Bush’s rationale for invading Iraq.
Mr. Woodward, who recently permitted his employer to publish a similar covert interview with the late former President Gerald Ford, said Mr. Hussein agreed to the no-holds-barred chat on the condition that the transcript be embargoed until after he “retired from public life,” which he did earlier today.
“I have always thought that President Bush did the right thing when he ordered the invasion,” Mr. Hussein told the star reporter. “However, I never understood why he made WMD such a big deal. Those canisters are so easy to hide and ship, and the lab just looks like any other lab after we scrub it.”
Mr. Hussein said if he were a U.S. president he would not have “wasted 12 years negotiating toothless resolutions” in the United Nations Security Council, but would have extended the Iraq no-fly zone “border to border, and also made it a no-drive, no-walk, no-breathe zone until the Baathist regime fell.”
“If Bush’s father had tried to take Baghdad in 1991, we would have run like a herd of goats from a pack of wild dogs,” he said. “I’d be living in peaceful seclusion in Geneva now, working on my memoirs with Judith Regan, and trading old war stories by email with the exiled former leaders of Saudi Arabia, Iran, Syria, Egypt, Lebanon and so on.”
Mr. Woodward said he would not comment on rumors that he will soon publish interviews with singers James Brown and Lou Rawls, cartoonist Joseph Barbera, actors Don Knotts, Jack Palance, Glenn Ford, June Allyson, Dennis Weaver, Shelley Winters and Jane Wyatt, as well as Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin and sportscaster Curt Gowdy, all of whom died in 2006 and may have been secretly critical of Mr. Bush’s rationale for invading Iraq.

All I want to know is if Woodward cut the same deal for this interview that CNN had brokered with Saddam.
In channeling the dead (or near-dead) and publishing after their engines are cooled, Muckraker Woodward has abilities comparable in reverse to John Edwards’s, a better-haired candidate who interprets messages from the unborn “collection of cells.” From tomb to womb, we have some terrific clairvoyants out there to keep us in the loopy.

Wow! With all the “celebrities” named above, ol’ Bob will be getting writer’s cramp (or should that be crap?). It’s so much easier to write what people said AFTER they aren’t around to dispute it.
It’s only fitting that Woodward, a crackpot, would write for the NY Times, a crackpot newsrag.

Re: Bob Woodward’s betrayal of Gerald Ford.
When President Ford confided his thoughts on Iraq with Bob Woodward under the condition that they not be released until after his death, his intent was obviously to avoid meddling in current affairs as does Jimmy Carter.
Woodward, in releasing those thoughts the day after Ford passed away, may be technically correct in doing so but his intent is clearly to promote himself and inflict as much damage as he can on President Bush. That clearly runs counter to Ford’s intentions and wishes.
Woodward, in my opinion, needs to have his occupational title changed from “Reporter” to one more fitting: How about “Self-Serving Lowlife?” “Traitor” works also.

Bob Woodward is proof that raw sewage can assume human form. Otherwise, he’s an excellent journalist.
Speaking of journalists, it is reported that Saddam “retired from public life” in order to “spend more time with his family” — especially sons Uday and Qusay.

LMAO. I don’t watch Saturday Night Live anymore, but it’s good to see that TV Funhouse still knows how to do it right. They completely screwed up “The X-Presidents” in the last cartoon of theirs they did, turning them into villians instead of heroes because they were all ticked about the war. But that video Godfrey linked to is hilarious.

Here’s an embargoed song parody, dedicated to one of today’s preeminent scumbags-and to Saddam Hussein, too…
♪ ♪ ♪ PORE SODOM’S DAID ♪ ♪ ♪
[Tune: “Pore Jud Is Daidâ€, from “Oklahoma!â€, music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, performed (in the movie version) by Gordon McRae (Curly) and Rod Steiger (Jud); © 2006, Santini Serenades]
• Pore Sodom’s daid
No need fer th’ Raid™
Thet cockroach went an’ got his bad self hung
(Bad self hung!)
Sodom’s guilt was ironclad
Now his Ba’athist buds ‘re sad
They shore loved thet murderin’ pile o’ dung
• Pore Sodom’s daid
Ten gallons o’ Glade™
Should hide th’ stench a-comin’ from th’ stiff
(Stinky stiff!)
Cadaver’s festerin’ with maggots
Hope Eye-rackis’ll GladBag™ it
Else they’ll be overcome by more gas whiffs
• Pore Sodom’s daid
Th’ noose wasn’t frayed
I bet he wished he’d had a scimitar
(Sharp scimitar!)
Reign of terror died a-bornin’
In Eye-rack there ain’t no mournin’
They played “Aloha†on th’ steel guitar
[Spoken]
An’ then thet eye-mam at Sodom’s fun’ral’d chant an’ you-la-late fer ‘im, an’ he’d say: “Sodom loved th’ birds o’ th’ air an’ th’ beasts o’ th’ fields, an’ he treated all th’ rats as equals, as he should’ve! He loved his statues o’ his self, his SCUDs, an’ his WMDs…an’ his feller man, too. Why, Sodom loved ever’one in th’ whole, wide world—‘cept fer them uppity Eye-rack dissidents he done-dispatched t’ Aller, an’ all them gals he done-sent t’ his rape rooms, an all th’ Kurds he done-gassed, an’ them Dujailis he done-massacreed, an…well, Ah’m plumb overcome with emotion ‘bout his passin’ on….â€
• Pore Sodom’s daid
Despite what he brayed
He won’t be rebuildin’ Babylon
(Babylon!)
His trial wasted time, colossal
But th’ tyrant’s now a fossil
That’ll stop his lawyers babblin’ on
• Pore Sodom’s daid
His mouthpieces prayed
Fer mercy, although Sodom was a swine
(Oinking swine!)
Chief Judge knew he was a lamster
Told Ramsey Clark, thet Marxist hamster:
“Th’ wheels o’ Justice grind slow, but grind fineâ€
[Clark, sniveling and whining]
• My client’s daid
On th’ scapegoat was laid
Th’ vicious slander thet he was a hood
Yes, Robin Hood!
[Iraqi Chief Judge, replying forcefully]
Kofi, Kojo, whole UN
Greased their palms with Sodom’s yen
Those thievin’ kleptocrats were robbin’ hoods
An’ Sodom’s now KO’d an’ gone fer good!
Good….
• Pore Sodom’s daid
Death sentence not stayed
Fer self-styled Gilgamesh, so grandiose
(Grandiose!)
Them Eye-rackis cooked his goose
Strung him up in his burnoose
An altogether fittin’ adios
• Pore Sodom’s daid
Eye-rack’s undismayed
Rejoicin’ thet he’s exited th’ scene
(Better scene!)
Sodom’s sleepin’ with th’ sturgeons
He won’t get six dozen virgins
Them whores don’t service corpses what turned green
• Pore Sodom’s daid
Spider-holed Ace of Spades
A stuffed an’ mounted Eye-rack jack-a-lope
(Jack-a-lope!)
Sodom croaked out his last “Ribbet!â€
When his free-fall from th’ gibbet
Ended with a sudden rope-a-dope
• Pore Sodom’s daid
All sliced, diced, an’ flayed
A quiverin’ hunk o’ goat meat on th’ hoof
(On th’ hoof!)
Sodom’s punishment, eternal
In th’ Lake o’ Fire, infernal—
He’ll sing an’ dance in “Fiddler on th’ Roof!â€
[Tag, duet in harmony by Clark and Chief Judge]

I wonder how much more dirt we’ll find on various Dems in 2007? Let’s see how much the lamestream media will rant and rave about the “unethical John Conyers”.

Victor Davis Hanson over at NRO’s “The Corner” makes an astute observation about the sycophancy toward Saddam demonstrated by clueless world “leaders” as memorialized through media coverage:
“One of the most depressing sights of the entire Saddam postmortem were the clips shown ad nauseam
of all the dignitaries, diplomats, and obsequious reporters who in years past trekked to Baghdad to flatter or to pay homage to this creepy mass murderer. Watching a younger Kofi Annan, Lindberg like, pump Saddam’s hand, smiling and offering blandishments was sickening. Surely the world can learn from this sordid spectacle, and not repeat the same mistake with Ahmadinejad and Assad. Their demise will come soon enough, and only the clips and outtakes of the appeasers will remain.
“It is getting so that the cheap anti-American rhetoric from Europe and the Middle East about our purported complicity in killing a mass murderer should be worn as a badge of honor. We caught him, turned him over for a transparent trial, and ensured he would never murder again. So the question remains: where is the true morality-building this killer’s bunkers, selling him weapons, taking his oil-or putting him in a noose?
“Nothing was more evident of the moral impoverishment of the Palestinians than their collective lamentation over the fate of this mass killer of the Kurds and Arabs. We gave the Palestinian Authority hundreds of millions of dollars for housing, schools, and security and they hate us; Saddam gave them a few thousand dollars as bounty for suicide murderers and they loved him.
“That says it all.”

Rinkydink: I am very concerned about your reading comprehension and critical-thinking skills. Dr. Sanity (an admirably credentialed woman, BTW) was merely describing behaviors, not forbidding the practice thereof. Words have meaning; talk has consequences. She was describing how the Left, either inadvertently or deliberately, provides propaganda points to an enemy that has repeatedly declared itself as such.
As far as First Amendment rights are concerned, you will find that Conservatives are firm believers in the inherent freedoms of all humans to speak and assemble. These rights are not conferred by our Constitution; they are protected by it. Read a good discussion (scroll back from comments, but be sure to read those, too) of how McCain-Feingold has compromised those rights and understand that the Right and the Left should be up in arms over that legislation.
We have the right to agree or to dissent; we have the responsibility as thinking people to do so by seriously considering the effects of our words.
Calm down… and have a happy new year.

Seems we, (Americans), are NOT as bad as Islam-o-Nazi’s after all! I didn’t see Saddam’s corpse being burned OR dragged through the streets after his hanging.
Two quick jokes:
Saddam arrived in hell at the same time another Muslim murderer, so Allah sent over a work order for two sets of 72 virgins. To save time he put them on the same order and asked for a ‘gross’ of virgins.
When the order was filled, the stock guy read it wrong and sent over virgins that would make Helen Thomas look like a beauty queen!

DARTHMEISTER: Do you have a hi-tech mini-rosetta stone or something that lets you differentiate between the DNC and Islamo-Terrorists? All I can see is that the DNC wants to convert all of America into a great big version of Cuba, with the English language outlawed and Mexican the official language. (very, very few Mexicans are capable of speaking the Castillian Spanish of Madrid, Spain - but instead speak a comglomerate of Spanish, Aztec, and slang from the Central America countries - with a little Americaneese thrown in.).
On the other hand all that the Islamo-Terrorists want is to behead anybody that ain’t (isn’t; for those in Rio Linda) them. I’m not sure which is worse. Perhaps your rosetta stone can help?
