If anyone can wear a dashikki it is Qadaffy Duck.

The only other dude who can wear a Dahikki is Albert Popwall as Mustapha.

If I was ever an evil, ruthless bloodthirsty dictator and all, I would go with the leftwing college professor look. Those elbow patches are definitely intimidating.

I can’t understand why he doesn’t license this stuff for Penney’s or Target.

The Muammar line for fall 2011.

Democrats would buy it in mass quantities, no?
