We’ll probably do more on this shortly, but for the moment: one can only imagine the quantity of wet Depends flying around the McLieberHamBiscuits team offices in celebration right now — crazy old murderous dictator Muammar Qaddafi is super duper dead as a door nail after NTC fighters found him hiding in a drainage pipe. Yes, that same dictator that America’s three favoritest “war forever” Senate neocons John McCain, Joe Lieberman and Lindsey Graham once upon a couple years ago loved enough to attend his tea times and urge easing of relations with Libya, that very one! But NATO needed a place to drop its bombs somewhere before they passed their “use before” date or whatever, although according to Walnuts & Co. they still didn’t use nearly enough of them. Now, how about some of that nice refined crude Libya has stashed around as a thank-you present? [The Guardian]
WELL THAT'S THE END OF THAT

Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi described President Obama as an African of Arab and Muslim descent. Now that he's taken the "big dirt nap" he won't be able to take his views and get his own Fox News show.
Mighty convenient, isn't it?
I love that "Muslim descent." How can you possibly be descended from a *religion*? Regardless of the penalty for apostasy, religion is something you can change whenever you want, unlike racial characteristics like, say, nappy hair, or epicanthic eye-folds. Fuck Moammar. I'm not sure I wanted him killed without a trial, but really, just fuck him.
***Snark off, anger on***
NATO should have just let Qadaffy escape in a Libyan Airliner and then shot him down, slowly.
***Anger off, snark on ***
Note: I landed at Heathrow Airport on a flight from Copenhagen at about the same time as Pan Am 103 exploded, London was not a happy place that night.
Maybe they'll find that rat bastard pardoned bombmaker, too.
That man is dying. Killing him won't bring any of his victims back, or I would have done it myself.
Telegraph, 28 August 2011: "Libya: Abdelbaset al-Megrahi found 'close to death' in Tripoli"
Having lost a friend on Pan Am 103, I have to agree with your non-snark response.
I'm so sorry. How sad, to lose a friend that way to anonymous terrorists. Not that it's exactly *cheerful* to lose them in any other way.
After Gadhafi blaming all of his problems on Bin Laden, I bet it was awkward this morning when they met in hell.
After they got past the "awkward glances" phase, they had a hate-makeout session.
I bet Hitler and Stalin chum it up just fine. Why can't we be friends~
Especially when Satan turned to Gadaffi just afterwards and said, "And now I'd like to introduce you to the other 76 virgins…"
It'll work out. Nixon has mixer parties every Thursday to help break the brimstone.
Oh, I'm sure Ronnie smoothed things over. He wasn't called "the great communicator" for nothing.
I wonder which nation will rally NATO to attack America once the DARPA Brown Sound machine makes the OWS people shit until they die.
Or put through the upcoming right-wing filter: President Perry/Romney/Cain/Bachmann has killed dictator Gaddafi, who committed terrorist acts for which Barack Obama sat idly by and is somehow responsible.
Release the photo!!! ARRGGH!
Done. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-15385...
awesome! now i just need to slap it on a chinese-made tshirt and sell it for $24.99
What! No burial at sea??
Looks like Alice Cooper on a bad day. A really bad day.
they did and arrggh indeed.
Lol, I know what Moammar is going as this Halloween.
Kurt Cobain?
Too soon!
Heath Ledger's "The Joker"?
Amy Winehouse?
Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.
Jane, you ignorant slut.
Never mind.
mccain, graham, and gadhafi will always have those hot sexy nights of man-on-man-on- man bukkakke in tripoli.
lieberman can't watch, though, or he has to pay $100.
And I'll bet the santorum flowed like Arabian Crude.
Can I have his army of hot kung-fu fighting woman body guards please?
This is good news….but not for John McCain.
No more tea parties. Walnuts has a sad.
That and he's been replaced in the hearts of his erstwhile followers by the brilliant Black Walnut.
Nothing has been good news for Johnny McWalnuts since he lost to that n*****.
Who?
Considering Obama's success with ending regimes once propped up by Republican's, Iran better watch out.
And it's a good thing for Tony Blair that he's not in office anymore.
I wish Barack would take that disgusting little poodle out with a drone. And his overly fecund wife and all their rotten spoiled children, too.
Baltasar Garzon can ask for Blair's extradition to Spain as a make-up call for the Brits's refusal to give up Pinochet.
Here is a medal. Thank you for elucidating my favourite fantasy #1211.
Maybe Hopey should turn his attention to the Boehner/Cantor regime.
I can just see Cantor crawling out of a sewer in Va. screaming "Don't shoot!"
And Alabama.
Arizona better watch out.
"…crazy old murderous dictator Muammar Qaddafi is super duper dead as a door nail "
I think "dead as McCain's peen" would've been more appropriate.
Hmmm, in the gentle old days we would lie capture your Goerings, Goebbels, Sadaams, and the like and first give them a trial, THEN execute them, or let them crunch on a cyanide molar.
Now it seems to be the vogue to definitely shoot first and ooops, too late to try them later.
If only we did this to just a few particular slimebuckets in Congress. Well, one can dream.
Well in Gaddafi's case, he was killed by the Libyan rebels, not by us; making his death more like those of Mussolini, the Romanovs, Louis XVI, Charles I, Caligula, etc.
Nicolae Ceauşescu says, "Don't forget about me!"
The photo of Gaddafi totally reminded me of the ones of Ceausescu. Didn't they drag Ceausescu and his wife around, too?
Not quite:
Thank Jeebus we didn’t take a lesson from those wacky Romanians, and still fry people we don’t like!
If he wants to be included in the list, he shouldn't have had a name that was so impossible to remember how to spell.
You forgot Romania!
Oh, wait, no, that was Poland. Never mind.
Goebbels committed suicide with his wife, children, and Fuhrer. Goering surrendered to the troops after first asking them to take custody of his person under the Geneva agreements.
Qadafy was killed by his own people. Had he accepted US or TNC guarantees of safe-passage and stepped down earlier, he need not have come to this pass. He chose his own fate. He had multiple opportunities to step down unharmed, like the Egyptian dictator, or the Tunisian.
This way is better, because this way they can't spill the beans about all of the shady dealings we had with him over the years.
It's more like when the mob puts a hit on someone to keep them quiet.
It's time the Obama administration apologized to Dick Cheney personally for killing Gaddafi. After all, it was the Bush administration that laid the groundwork for the termination of Qaddafi and his band of thugs. But no, the Obama administration will take full credit for the death of Khadafi.
Marco Rubio already said that Britain and France deserve credit, not that Muslim in the White House. http://talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/2011/10/cre...
Why does Marco Rubio hate America?
Cuz he's Cuban – starts with a capital C and that stands for COMMIE.
You know what else he is that ALSO starts with a C?
I'm sure that won't interfere with the Republican talking point that we're bearing too much of the expense and risk in Libya.
Or their latest defense of the Lord's Resistance Army bunch of murderous child-raping thugs.
That wetback is a treasonous asshole.
He's fresh off the boat, no one will miss that commie
They can never give any credit to liberals; I've heard quite a few wingnuts claim that the nasty old drunk racist Churchill deserves all credit for winning World War II and FDR did nothing useful (and of course the Russians go completely ignored).
Or, if you're Pat Buchanan, that we shouldn't have gotten involved and left that nice Mr. Hitler alone.
When they're not claiming JFK or Truman were one of them.
Truman wanted national health-care. Does this mean the GOP is in favour of death panels?
It does no good to point out the Neville Chamberlain was the leader of the Conservatives.
Of course. Despite the fact that that nasty old racist bamboozled entire nations into supporting Britain against Germany/Japan with the promise of national sovereignty and freedom, only to respond, after the war, "Promises are made to be broken." And despite the fact that millions of Russians died to save the West. Barely was the war over when Churchill and his minions started making love to the Nazis and castigating the Communist Russians.
No no no folks. The joke was that I spelled the ex-Libyan leader's name three different ways in the same paragraph. Do I have to spell it out like a right wing comedian and say "Get it?"
Things get pretty fast and furious here at Wonkette, and deep subtlety can sometimes whiz right by.
Not to mention lame dumb ass jokes like mine.
Bless your heart … it was a good joke, really.
I noticed, I just didn't see a joke.
*rimshot*
About the only "groundwork" done by the Bush administration was sending him a full photo spread of Condi, in her dominatrix boots and not much else.
And a smile. You forgot the smile.
An ass you could bounce a dinar off.
Oh, I'm sure the teabaggers are already trying to spread this meme, as they always do. What a pass this country has come to!
bbc is reporting a dude in a yankees cap got him.
update: dude in yankees cap may be kinda hot AND has a golden gun.
Jeter and A-Rod get bored during the off-season, and took out their rage at getting punked by the Tigers on Moammar.
Or, the real reason the Yankees started falling apart late in the season!
And a meme is born.
So Gadaffi was wearing a Sox jersey at the time? Youkilis pehaps?
James Bond?
That's Qadafy's gun.
Hang on, Wisconsin — there's hope!
Would upfist again.
All we have to do is figure out how to get a carrier task force in Lake Michigan and have them bomb the little fucker out of the governors mansion. Maple Bluff will never be the same. We might want to have them take out Waukesha County along with him to tamp the Scooter Rooters down.The state employees will take care of the rest, we don't need AK-47's we have 30-06 rifles for deer huntin'. We'll even field dress him and feed the carcass to the polar bears at the Milwaukee zoo.
What an ecologically sound and fiscally conservative concept! And think of the exercise it will provide for all involved! I second this motion.
Was he killed in Libya or Africa?
All of them, Katie.
THAT is called "taking one for the team"..
Is this good news for OWS?
Was he wearing one of his fabulous robes when he met the Reaper?
Condoleeza: "Whatcha thinkin 'bout?"
Moammar: "Oh… you and stuff."
Guess there's one less foreign affair for
Condi to get skeeved out byus to take mirth in ridiculing.Man I'd completely forgotten about Moamar's "thing" for Condi. Almost made both of them seem human. Almost.
Help wanted: Buxom Ukrainian nurse. Position(s) available immediately.
Leave Yulia alooooooooooooone!
How about a Brit who can handle a stethoscope?
Moammar would have liked YOU MUCH BETTER!
Also because you have the buxoms.
Will Ursula do? http://sparklepony.blogspot.com/2011/07/ah-how-re...
I really hate it when I don't get to use my bombs before the expiration. Though, sometimes they are difficult to see when they are pushed way back behind the Cresent Rolls and Tuppers.
Tupper? I hardly *knew* her!
this is what happens with a weak president who leads from behind.
the yankees get him.
I think it's probably Lynds who leads from behind, if ya get my drift…
With Muammar gone, maybe NATO can focus on taking out the coach of the Miami Dolphins.
Or getting Matt Moore some receivers that can catch. Of course, Dolphins don't have arms, why should you expect them to catch?
They do just fine with those toothy smiling jaws, Baldar.
They do seem to run their pass patterns on sonar.
Or the owner of the Chesapeake Bay Region Indigenous Persons, and his Ultimate Leader Shanahan.
With Beck at QB what could go wrong?
Beck?
"I'm a driver, I'm a winner
Things are gonna change, I can feel it"
Right Wing A**hats giving credit to "policies begun by G.W. Shrub" for killing Khaddafi in 4… 3… 2…
Already happened, I'm sorry to say.
Let's see… you know these things always come in threes… so that's Osama and Khaddafi for two… who's going to be the next megalomaniacal dictator
Kim Jong-Il (fingers crossed)
I'm hoping for Dick "Palpatine" Cheney, myself. I'll settle for Rupert Murdoch.
Rupert's going to face his shareholders tomorrow — and while I doubt there'll be airstrikes, this meeting could be the beginning of a long, bumpy descent.
I'm toying with the idea of going to the "Occupy Rupert" demonstration to be held outside of the shareholders meeting. It would involve getting up early in the morning and a lengthy drive, but the chance to yell at the old monster up close and personal would be satisfying.
But he's got his son ready to take over, sadly.
If L'il Kim is as good at grooming his son as he is at feeding his own people, the government will collapse about 5 hours after his death.
Actually, this is true for both Rupert Murdoch and Kim Jong Il.
If you're referring to Kim, analysts believe that his henchmen will quickly dispose of his son, who is not possessed of any particular talents or skills to fit him for that position.
If you're referring to Murdoch's son, the shareholders have already said no to him, IIRC. Or perhaps that's just the British arm of the corporation.
… yeah. "Analysts" also said that about Kim Jong-Il himself back in 1994. Western "analysts" about North Korea are really guilty of wishful thinking.
If the truth is that Kim Jong-un was behind the Cheonan sinking, then he's easily ruthless and borderline-nuts enough to take over from Dad.
I hope so. He's on my deadpool and Moammar wasn't.
"and another one gone, another one gone, another one bites the dust"
Does "BFF" mean "Best Friend For now"?
"Bombed For Freedom." And BTW, they're not "bombs," they're "Freedom Makers."
Freedom Kablooies!
Good riddance.
Burn in hell.
Since I was carefully trained by my momma, I usually just keep my piehole shut when some public figure I don't like dies.
This is definitely an exception. I've had Queen as my soundtrack off and on all day. I plan to make this exception for Cheney and a few others.
In the video at the second clickie link it looks like McWalnutz does a bit of a bow to Quhdaffy when they are shakin' hands. Mmmmm, does Napolitano know about this? Should Janet have men in black grab Johnboy and ship his ass to Gitmo?
Yes
Would it not have been easier to kill him by letting him in a plane flown by McCain?
Yeah, well, McCain's track record ain't that impressive. Three planes totaled, and the old bastard's STILL alive and drawing full disability pension.
I thought the total was five planes, but just the three would make him an ace in the North Vietnamese Airforce. Is he double dipping and collecting a pension from them and the US Navy too? Considering his victories against US naval hardware, he should have got the medal, commendations and pension from a grateful Vietnamese people…
I only had verification for three incidents when I actually researched the bastard. He is getting 100% disability from the Navy, and has collected it since his return to this country. I resent that so many fine young men and women (and plenty of Oldz, too) have to struggle and scrape to get by on what they can get because the VA refused to award them full disability; and this miserable mean motherfucker is drawing full pension despite his wife's $6 MILLION p.a. income, and his own declared income of ~$400K p.a. With $6.5 million flowing into the coffers yearly, they don't need the additional money.
And his thanks to the VietNamese guy who literally saved his miserable ass? He didn't even want to acknowledge the guy. What a putz.
Is he double dipping and collecting a pension from them and the US Navy too? Considering his victories against US naval hardware, he should have got the medal, commendations and pension from a grateful Vietnamese people
And the "little" issue of him being a collaborator for the NVA.
Awesome.
I doubt Walnuts could get if off the ground now. A plane, I mean. Not his, well, you know.
I suppose he could crash it into a hangar. I mean crash a plane!
Somewhere, a gorgeous Ukrainian nurse is weeping softly…
Romney tells slacker Libyans, 'It's about time!"
http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-romney...
He should blame Ronald Reagan. That'd be hilarious.
What? Was Sarah unavailable? I'm sure her opinion is just as valuable.
I thought it was about Libyan freedom. My bad.
I guess I wonder when we're going to start blowing up Canada for their tar sands.
Sooner than any of us think…
The Canadians want the tar sands pipeline. It starts on Canadian soil and is being built by a Canadian company and the project is backed by the Canadian government. We don't have to bomb when they're begging us to take it.
What we should really do is bomb those damn Canucks for their delicious maple syrup reserves. Mmmmm….Freedom waffles.
But I thought Gaddafi became one of our guys because of Bush?
Saddam Hussein thought the same thing because of Rumsfeld, and look where that got him.
Yes. Bush and Cheney took credit for getting him to give up his WMD's so as not to get his head pulled off, and now look.
The most important question to ask is, of course, can we expect a Gaddafi Blingy?
Gaddafi alive was a walking blingee.
And Condi was his blingee.
Burial at sea???
Up to the Libyan people, not us.
I don't want to be presumptive and I don't know how it fits into Sharia Law, but I'd propose a Viking Burial – burning boat at sea. Classy – but no body left to enshrine.
What a lovely idea! I'll bring marshmallows, if you'll bring toasting forks.
What are the odds that Bush's declaration that Gaddafi was a valuable ally, followed by the McCain, Lieberman, and Graham slobberfest will be mentioned on any newscast?
I caught the start of Limbaugh's Ol' Time Oxycontin hour, and he was talking about how Louis Farrakhan was a fan of Gaddafi. I'm sure he got around to Bush, McCain, Lieberman and Graham in the next segment, but I had to go and work.
I have reached an intensity of loathing for Limbaugh that is probably doing me physical harm on some level.
On the bright side, Colbert did a great takedown of the dim-witted addict recent claim that Obama was "wiping out Christians" in Africa.
http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-v...
And now we're hearing this: Reports claim the ousted dictator was found hiding in a hole with a golden pistol.
That's the straight line, folks.
Was there a vicious little midget named Nik-Nak in the vicinity? Did Qaddafi's body have a third nipple?
And a sinister midget with a bucket and a mop
A sinister little midget with a bucket and a mop

President Obama's statement: "It's unfortunate that in our political climate a brother has to kill twice as many evil fucks to get half the credit. On the bright side, that's not hard to do."
"Particularly if you dispense with such bourgeois inconveniences as 'trials,' 'evidence,' and 'legal representation.'"
OBL still cries out for justice! Can you hear him?…"glugglugglugglug!!"
You can only claim the right to a trial if you surrender to the opposing troops. If you're an armed fugitive from justice, you tend to get what those people usually get — a bullet.
I don't like it, I'm not happy about it, but that's how it is. How do we change this?
War crimes trials! Hopey is Defendant 3 (after Chimpy and Cheney!)!.!..!
Won't happen, V. Governments have too much of an interest in continuing themselves, and which one of the nations of the world will step forward and Do The Right Thing? Not one.
Reading Gettleman, et al, eds., Vietnam and America: A Documented History, which reproduces the impassioned letters Ho Chi Minh wrote to the US, France, and the UN, requesting that they abide by their OWN constitutions which declared "All men are equal." The US didn't even bother to reply. The French instituted a reign of terror, killing anyone they suspected of having ANYthing to do with the Viet Minh, which was a nationalist organization with broad popular support.
The Little People are on their own, and individual rights count for nothing. If you (or that fictitious entity, Your Country) are not equipped with a Big Stick to ensure your rights, you just won't get 'em.
Its all Obama's fault, for doing too much, and for not doing enough. He didn't do anything, and he shouldn't have done what he did. He shouldn't have killed Gaddafi, and he should have killed him sooner. Mitt Romney would have killed him twice, last week, and Perry would have killed him 3 times, last month. Obama's weak, traitorous foreign policy is making us less safe.
God bless America.
But of course we shouldn't have been in Libya in the first place, right Newt?
I hope FLOTUS just smooth fucks the beejesus out of him tonight, I would.
Hon, you'd do that everyday.
Well, I would make it extra special .
Oooohh, sounds delish!
Ahhh, the old "French Resistance Lass and Nazi Interrogator" routine, eh?
I'm sure Mister Limeylizzie would be happy to assure us that every night with you is extra special.
Considering what a GORGEOUS fucking hunka burnin' love that man is, I'm betting she trips him into bed every chance she gets.
Let's allow him half a pack of Kools tonight, shall we?
Shit, give him a whole fucking carton of Gudang Garam Rokok Kretek, he's earned it.
Unfortunately, prommie , that's the line. And the "media" will play Repuglican talking points over and over. (pssstt..cable news, if they won't come on your show and allow you to interview them, quit playing clips of their obnoxious horse-shit that they spew on Fux.)
You writing for Hermain Cain now?
You writing for Herman Cain now?
Anyone know when his fabulous robes will go on auction?
I know a drag queen in need of a good Christmas gift.
I think this is pretty much the final nail in the coffin for ObaMao's failed foreign policy. Also, it's one more reason why we should cut taxes for the rich.
Now, how can we link this to abortion?
Logical linkages are for pussies. Wingnuts don't need no stinkin' links!
Wish I knew Photoshop.. This Obama guy would look good riding into town with bin Laden and Gaddafi draped over the back of his horse. Or tied to the hood of his pickup truck.
Oh come on – isn't anybody going to step up with a "Blazing Saddles" reference in reply? Snap to, people!
"It's twue, it's twue!!!"
If only Gaddafi had taken the TARP funding from Bush, he would still be safe.
Hurray!
Another victory for America's M.I.C. and energy companies.
USA! USA! USA!

And now my hope for world peace will come true.

Late evening with Col. Qadhafi at his "ranch" in Libya – interesting meeting with an interesting man.
15 Aug 09 via web
Yeah, I remember that. And I remember steam shooting out of my ears.
None of those three slobbering knob-gobblers has ever been held accountable for that little walk on the wild side.
I am getting really tired of conservatives crying about every time President Obama is responsible for the death of terrorists.
Ah, phooey. They shoulda given him/her a medal.
Obama was only 8 when the movie 'The Assassination Bureau' came out, but that's an age when we get our coolest ideas, isn't it? I think he's modeled himself on the Telly Savalas character.
The Bureau's really kickin' ass, huh?
1-Afghanistan minerals and pipeline-Check. 2-Iraq's Oil-Check. 3-Libyan Oil-Check. Africa, a work in progress…
NATO=Need Assholes Taken Out?
Somewhere Bashar al-Assad is buying Depends.
Maybe keep it topical – Libyan Resistance soldier interrogates Ukrainian nurse.
Wasn't there a great and twisted film like that, with Charlotte Rampling and Dirk Bogarde? Wish I could remember the title. Very bizarre little movie.
If the KungFuBotWife isn't around, maybe you could lob a rotten tomater at him, or something. If she IS, you'd better have track shoes on.
Sounds like 'The Night Porter', according to IMDb. But I haven't seen it.
I was going by certain hints Miss Lizzie has dropped in the past.
Yes! That's IT! Two brilliant actors, one weird and twisted film. Thanks, Raven!
I'll have to look for it. I love both of those actors, but particularly Dirk Bogarde.
Dirk Bogarde was a brilliant, and sadly underrated actor. Rampling, also a great actor, preferred difficult roles to stardom, and always maintained her career at a pretty good level, but Bogarde was so ignored, it saddens me.
I just saw her in The Swimming Pool, which I didn't much care for, and The Verdict, which was good, but she deserved better. Interesting woman.
Interesting = hawt. Extremely, memely hawt.
My old friend WriteyWriterton! I haven't seen you since the last supper, haha. Yes, she is indeed extremely hawt in that slitty-eyed, glowering, sexy straight-browed Lauren Bacall sort of way. Intelligent hawt, which is the hawtest.
Oooh ohhh I know, it's cunt isn't it.
You win a tee shirt. Please pick up your prize at the door.
Also the rumor is that Kim Jong-Il chose him over his older sons because they were too nice.
The counter is "Vlad Tepes impaled his Turkish rivals". Sure, it happened in the 14th or 15th century, but, hey, Robert Byrd was a Klansman.
