Saddam's Kids in the Hall Reference

[Lyle]

I just went to CNN.com and this caught my eye:

Hussein listened silently to the witness. But he lost his temper when one of the lawyers described Kurdish guerrillas, known here as peshmargas, as freedom fighters.

"You are agents of Iran and Zionism. We will crush your heads," Hussein shouted.

The story does not report whether Saddam was squinting through his pinched-together thumb and index finger when he made this threat.

I SQUISH YOUR HEAD.

Get it right, Saddam.

Once a head crusher, always a head crusher.

On further reflection, I realize that you are probably correct that Saddam Hussein was not, in fact, making a subtle reference to the Kids in the Hall. He probably doesn't even have cable.

No word on if he closed out his comments with:

"You're a chicken!"
"Evil!"

I never knew that he was a fan.

OK. You get my vote for post of the month.

Hey now, if a man has a toliet made of gold and millions of US dollars stashed around the country I'm sure he had satalite TV. Of course a man with that kind of resources at his disposal would watch Canadian comedy to unwind from a hard day of 'dictator-ing'.

BTW Lyle, I crush your 'tar! <crush!>
miloblithe I crush your 'tar top to bottom making him shorter! <crush!>

Wait, how can someone be an agent of Iran and Zionism?

Who knows, maybe Saddam was the inspiration for the character?

Did the character have an accent or just a speech impediment. I could never tell.

So Saddam was in league with the Canadians?

Good thing we took him out when we did ...

I think it was a speech impediment. His arch enemy however, had a French accent and he says "I'm pinching your face!"

I think he should try his head crushing technique against this guy. He looks like a pro:
