The managers of CNN, just like Pinchy Sulzberger at the NY Times wanted so desperately to perform fellatio on Saddam. Now they have to settle for Ahmadinajad or Chavez.

If I was throwing money at a news service, say CNN, I'd darn well expect to see a return on my investment.

I like how they softened the image of Saddam while keeping the contrast high on Ford. It makes Ford look older and Saddam more handsome.

I kind of wonder if Gerald Ford were elected instead of Caving Carter if we would even ever heard of Saddam Hussein.

That's what I was thinking. Looks like they airbrushed Hussein and whitened his collar to make him look more dignified. But I don't see any whitening of the white stripes on Ford's collar.
To: new yorker 77
Thank you, CNN- now I realize Ford was lost and vacant and that Hussein was sensitive and righteous.

CNN did Saddam. Office party has been cancelled.

How long until the Saddam T-shirts make their way onto college campuses ala Che?
To: Rome2000
Yeah, that photo is just dreadful. I emailed someone at CNN and complained that they used that particular photo of him while making nice for Saddam.
::sigh:: it won't help, but I feel better.

I must say I was very impressed with Elizabeth Vargas and ABC and what they did tonight, interrupting 20/20 and chronicling Saddam's horrors. Excellent work by them.

Once again, Some Damn Insane looks like he's selling a very expensive colonge!
The Ford picture does look pensive, however!

The managers of CNN, just like Pinchy Sulzberger at the NY Times wanted so desperately to perform fellatio on Saddam. I don't know, he's certainly in the right condition........... stiff.
