Vending their feelings


Globe-trotting Lauren Hutton came home from a recent trip to Tanzania with a suitcase full of macabre souvenirs.

"They were selling watches in carts, with pictures of Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden on them," the venerable supermodel told us. "For $1.50."


And did she buy one?

"Are you kidding?" said Hutton, who last night was the guest of honor at a benefit here for the African Rainforest Conservancy. "I bought every one they had" (as mementos for friends and family).

Terrorists' bombs rocked the U.S. Embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, in August 1998.

Asked if she felt the watch vendors were anti-American, Hutton, a critic of the Bush administration, said: "I've been feeling pretty un-American myself, lately. But then I didn't approve of the Roman Empire either when it went stomping around the world."

dumbest comment on Congress of the decade.

He may have announced it to the world, he didn't tell us.
