The Libyan Leader is indeed insane. Really. Last week he is talking how George Bush and other Christians should be allowed to to go to Mecca and pray to Jesus. This week Lionel Richie is singing in a public performance. Whats next? Qaddafi posting commentary each week in the newspaper on the latest episode of the family guy.
I am wondering who is in charge over there. Most importantly can this erratic behavior by Qaddafi be taken advantage of by Muslim extremist in a take over. Don't get me wrong, I rather have him listening to 80's pop stars than bombing planes but his behavior should be watch and especially those that might want to take advantage of it.

"Hello! Is it meee you'reeee lookin' for?"

No, Lionel. It really isn't. Back! Back to forced retirement where you live off residuals. RETRO LIONELA!

My first thought actually was, "Lionel Ritchie is alive?"

[BigSkyFreeper]

He's either commemorating the bombing of Muammar Gadaffi's home, or commemorating the end of his singing career by singing in front of Muammar Gadaffi's home, which both went *pewf* around the same time.

This was a brick...house

Yeah mighty might, Momar used to let it all hang out.

This was a brick...house

Yeah Reagan wacked it...that's a fact

Ain't holding nothing back

[subterfuge]

Ah, yes, the mighty F-111. I'm happy to say I built some of the weaponry that made the bombing on Mohamar a success.

I wonder what Richie is being paid?

[kinghorse]

We ought to refers to martyrs as murtyrs or murdertyrs. Or muleturds. Can't leave out that option.

[BossLady]

He was once

twice

three tiiiiimes

a Dictator.......

[xarmydog]

They are both celebrating the last time they had a'hit!'.

[Antoninus]

Ain't it typical. Make millions doing something as trivial as singing in the US, then stab America in the back.

The entertainment game seems to breed such cretins like maggots.

"He's hiding from his wife."

- Yes, Lionel's career never recovered from the incident when his wife showed up at his mistresses front door and kicked him in the crotch when he came down to see what the commotion was all about. He was really dancing on the ceiling from that blow.

Lionel Richie singing in commemoration to a dictator who invaded Chad three times, conquered it twice, bombed Israel, and sent troops to support Idi Amin in Uganda in 1979....I think we need to launch another air raid.

[ozzymandus]

I sincerely doubt he knows a damn thing about his ancestors.

[dfwgator]

The Commodores were better without him anyway.
