Ghaddafi Dead?
— Dave in Texas

That's the word, his last defenders laid down arms and he was killed in Tripoli.

We'll see.

Lots of updates here.

The war under the radar is flipping, and Obama is gonna get a chance to embrace the "you break it, you buy it" crap from the left.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

UPDATE: Or.. negotiatin to save his hide.

ALSO: I'm gonna miss his totally fly "MC Hammer" robes and shit.

1 There are many Ghaddafis

2 So, now Obama's going to put Powell's "you break it, you bought it" theory into action and rebuild Libya?

8 Khaddafi dead?

Good.

I'd like to thank Obama for that. I'd like to think that this was part of some long strategy of his...

But even though the right outcome occurred (Khaddafi dead), I think it was mostly due to actors other than the President, and that had things gone badly, Obama would have been just as feckless as he is in so many other things.

Â“The first thing my brigade will do is set up checkpoints to disarm everyone, including other rebel groups, because otherwise it will be a bloodbath,Â” said Najjair. Â“All the rebel groups will want to control Tripoli.

This is messed up. So when a sitting President needs votes 'then' we have the motivation to rid the world of a tyrant. Questions: Is the muzzie brotherhood poised to wrestle control of Lybia? Israel is slowly being surrounded by its mortal enemies. Is this the event Joe Bite-me spoke of in the early days of this administration? BTW What was the event Bite-me has knowlege of?

49 @36 The New York Times is too busy piously detailing the fact that donors to Rick Perry's gubernatorial may or may not have gotten some tangible benefits out of being donors. Good thing Texas is absolutely unique in that respect. I would hate to think that sort of thing could spread elsewhere.

Just imagine if big donors figured out they could buy some influence in D.C., Chicago, Sacramento or Albany. That would be....unprecedented.

Why, we could even end up with a stumbling clusterfuck of a miserable failure in the White House.

When we all thought Barky was vacationing on the Vineyard he was actually leading a supersecret squad of highly-trained political science professors into Khaddafi's compound. The Indonesion Imbecile tortured Khaddafi by tying him to a chair and setting up his combat-model teleprompter, whereupon Barky directed an army of straw persons at the helpless dictator.

In less than an hour, Khaddafi was begging for the sweet release of death.

Gutsy call indeed.

The real important news is that Jerry Lewis is back on as host of the Labor Day Telethon.

I went to a lecture that Lewis gave on the importance of using humor when trying to heal sick people. This was given at a hospital that I used to work at and the audience was mostly doctors (I am not). He was foul mouthed, arrogant and just plain rude Â– a real d-bag. I finally had enough and got up to leave. The dirty look he gave me was priceless.

HeÂ’s done a lot of good for MD telethon, etc. but is a rude asshole.

Coincidentally, during the new administration, Q went back to his old tricks. Additionally, those who have been most desperate to shuffle out Q were the ones trying to get back onto the right side of history, who gave the Gipper a hard time when he tried to shuffle out Q the first time.

"I have no knowledge of any South African planes in Tripoli ... but Nato should know, since they control the airport and no plane can land without their permission," he said.

Dangor confirmed that most of South Africa's diplomatic mission had already left Tripoli on Saturday, with some officials still in Djerba in Tunisia and others in Tripoli.

He denied allegations that he left on a South African defence aircraft, saying that he left to Djerba on a World Food Program jet before making his way to Tunis, Dubai and finally Johannesburg.
