James, Gerald, and now Saddam. What’s Jay Leno gonna do? He relied heavily on Saddam for comedic effect (so did Hot Shots!). Nothing funny about getting hanged.
We built this man up as a crazy guy, we never see the murders (I’m sure they’re on You Tube somewhere). But let’s be honest, he’s great in the courtroom, it is funny when he becomes defiant, shouting off to the judge and belittling his lawyers, gesturing, pointing, all tied together with that trademark scowl.
You gotta laugh. Can’t they just keep him on display in a public prison? What about learning from the guy? How does his mind work? What’s his homepage?
You know who’s pissed and has every right to be? Peter Boyle. He was the third, walking in hand and hand with President Ford and the Godfather of Soul, not a bad exit, pretty good company, any of us would take it.
Then all of a sudden, Boyle gets Pearl Harbored by this maniacal mad man, Hussein taking one last shot at the West and our Hollywood studio system.
However we think and feel, somebody has got to take the spotlight off Saddam and shine it on Brown, Ford, Boyle, and him or herself.
We only have hours. Who’s gonna take one for the team? Dammit, I need names!
Steve Irwin tried to time it, bless his heart.
