At last! The Dems have found the perfect spokesperson, he's ethnically diverse, urbane, politically savvy, and is right on script.
BAGHDAD, Iraq - A defiant Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) rejected charges of war crimes and genocide in a court appearance Thursday, telling a judge in his first public appearance since his arrest: "This is all theater, the real criminal is Bush."
The best Peter Jennings can summon up is a "queer eye for a bad guy" critique of Saddam's wardrobe?! The media has begun the transformation of Saddam Hussein into a sympathetic character to deprive Bush, and by extension, the Iraqi people of the smallest of successes. The media will not be denied failure in Iraq.
Isn't it interesting, American talk radio is roundly scorned by the media as trash, yet Christiane Amanpour quotes Bahgdad talk radio as a reliable source. The drumbeat for an international tribunal will begin in order to provide Saddam a hate America platform.
What the hell is wrong with these people? Their hatred of America is so intense that they turn a blind eye and deaf ear to the plight of millions of people living in fear and dying under monsters such as Charles Taylor, the Janjaweed, Aristide, Il Sung, Saddam and Castro?

This is the front page headline in the SF Chronicle:
A scornful Hussein rejects all charges
He insists he's still Iraq's leader, says 'this is theater by Bush'
Big Sigh.
