| dec 14, 2003 The world's most famous dental examination Adorned with an unkempt mullah's beard beneath those famous pregant eyebags, Saddam looked like his old foe Khomeini in his younger days, sans the crisp turban of course. History's joke, perhaps. And when he opened his mouth for TV cameras and the lucky medic, he appeared like a spoilt kid doing what he's asked to do rather reluctantly but knowing fully well that its for his own good. Dictators will always be like that. Their own good surpassess all--god, being, good, evil, life, death, most-wanted cards, sons, wives, WMDs...everything. Besides the poor joke, it was a rather sad scene for MBlog to watch. Not for the ultimate demise of one of the world's most enduring TV figures but for the impending gloom it spells for contemporary history in possibly ensuring a second-term for one the world's most insulting heads-of-state. Dear old Sad, if not for your own country, or for your fictional valour, and if not for continuing to be cited alongside Bin Laden; you should have, in the very least, died fighting (okay, with a golden gun) for not handing an easy victory parade to the Texan twit. But now you are gone and Bush is coming, again. (God save the Queen.) Your beard, I assume, has been shaven off with a military razor, and will in all probability be kept in the museum of natural history. Last night I told a friend to look out for my blog tomorrow, did I have a premonition? No. I wish I was a seer. Or better still, a dentist in the US army. |
