12:35

Mr Gaddafi has just wrapped up his unscripted 94-minute rant, having thrown the General Assembly session into confusion. He got absolutely no applause. Delegates just sat stunned.

... 12:21

Mr Gaddafi has thrown the UN session into disarray. He has now been speaking for 100-odd minutes and seems just to be warming up. He was supposed to speak only 15 minutes. Some UN journalists are now betting he will run on for a Fidel Castro-like seven hours. Of course, the General Assembly president has not got the heart to stop him. Perhaps because the General Assembly president is Ali Treki, a former Libyan foreign minister under Mr Gaddafi.

Almost sounds like the author is tweeting, LOL. You have to back-read it to follow the event. Very funny reading! But scary when you think this is the kind of 'leader' Obama wants us to 'embrace' and sing kumbayallah with!!

This event is so going to be a Saturday Night Live skit, mark my words!

[DallasSun]

That idiot sounded completely crazy. I am surprised security did not remove him from the podium.

[Uncle Ike]

” Gaddafi hijacks the podium “

‘Take this UN to Lybia!!’

(No, really, that was kinda what he said!!)

LOL

[broken_arrow1]

Too bad he didn’t talk for a whole week. Then we wouldn’t have to hear Obama’s line of BS.

[andy58-in-nh]

I’ll bet he still used the word “I” fewer times than Obama did.

[Izzy Dunne]

Why was it 100 minutes at 12:21 but only 94 minutes at 12:35?

[AppyPappy]

I absolutely love it when someone makes the UN look foolish. Thank you, Momo.

[Dallas59]

[HiTech RedNeck]

Who knew the UN had filibusters?

[heiss]

“That idiot sounded completely crazy. I am surprised security did not remove him from the podium.”

Are you talking about Obama or Gaddafi ?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

LOL!

[Billthedrill]

What the heck, it’s a clown car anyway. Go Mo!

[Neoliberalnot]

The way BO trashed the US you would think he was a representative from a muzzie nation. Not more than a year ago, if BO had delivered such a speech to the UN, the US delegates would have exited the building. Which enemy of the US is the bigger threat, BO or Ghaddafi?

[Overtaxed Patriot]

Call in the S.W.A.T. team.

[pissant]

I’d rather listen to Mohmar falpping his gums about his fantasy world than the rest of the morons plotting to screw us over.

[444Flyer]

Qadaffi filibuster.

See you in a few more hours.

Stupid U.N. and Obama are getting their comeuppance on this one. (ROTFL)

Does anybody know if there are any time limits on speeches at the U.N..

I'd buy someone lunch if they'd go in with a stage cane and hook him outta there!

[Dallas59]

"We are content and happy if Obama stays forever as President."

Ugh.

[a fool in paradise]

Doesn't look like Obama is at ALL put out with Qadaffy like he CLAIMED when the Lockerbie bomber got a hero's welcome.

[DallasSun]

Gaddafi of course

[444Flyer]

You beat me to it!

[RC2]

The only thing I agreed on. Move the UN out of the United States and destroy that building.

[a fool in paradise]

Obama OPENED for Querdaffi.

[G8 Diplomat]

Wow, maybe I should be watching this just for the comedy! LOL. You’re right—it’d make a great SNL skit!

[dog breath]

Does the UN really need anyone's help to look like a bunch of long winded buffoons.

[a fool in paradise]

And was probably kinder in his words regarding the US than Obama was.

[444Flyer]

[bigbob]

His speech was probably about as much fun to listen to as Obamas

[muawiyah]

Gaddafi is certifiable ~ and so is Obama. Still, if you were giving the ignorant speech Obama gave you’d want to have Gaddafi as your follow-up speaker.

[BigFinn]

Wait until this guy hits the podium.

[Bobalu]

[thecabal]

This is the kind of speech they need at the UN

[Personal Responsibility]

This one made me LOL! Good one!

[Billthedrill]

What the heck is that guy wearing, one of Michelle 0bama’s castoffs?

[Tenacious 1]

This is awsome. This nutjob and I agree on one thing for sure. Move the UN to Lybia.

I am going to get a trascript of this rant, copyrite it and sell it. I am so glad this happened. The UN is embarrassed on the world stage. I hope they regret getting Lybia into the UN. I hope they don’t vote to kick Lybia out. It would demonstrate some sense and right now, the “Chickens are coming home to roost.”

[sand lake bar]

I wish someone would make a movie: “UN: The Freak Show”

[Ramius]

Wow... you can’t even do a parody of this guy. He’s so loony he’s become unmockable. His cheese has done slid off his cracker...

Somebody really, really needed to hit him in the neck with a tranq dart.

[righttackle44]

Wait! Wait! Do you suppose that
Gaddafi is Kanye on the weekends?

[Delta 21]

[444Flyer]

He he he..that’s so funny!

[a fool in paradise]

Momar Kadaffi's tailor said, "It's curtains for you!"

[Dallas59]

President Camacho got more guts than our present "Son of Africa"

[AnalogReigns]

I absolutely love it when someone makes the UN look foolish.

You must LOVE the folks at the UN ALL THE TIME...

[lack-of-trust]

100 odd minutes, meant he was estimating, hadn’t done the math.

[thecabal]

I’d take President Camacho over Buraq any day.

[SaveTheChief]

...brought to you by Carl’s Jr.

[a fool in paradise]

Instead they get this:

[N. Theknow]

“That idiot sounded completely crazy. I am surprised security did not remove him from the podium.”

Are you talking about Obama or Gaddafi ?

What's the difference between their speeches?

Qadaffi had an interpreter.

[444Flyer]

[N. Theknow]

Why was it 100 minutes at 12:21 but only 94 minutes at 12:35?

His speech was that warped.

[Salvation]

Is this the reason they delayed so long in bringing him forward.

I finally turned of Fox.......couldn’t stand him. Didn’t watch Obortion Obama either.

(Heard he made a fool of himself, though.)
