Gadhafi says he is in Tripoli, not Venezuela
CNN ^ | 02/21/2011 | CNN Wire Staff

Moammar Gadhafi emerged Tuesday morning on state-run television in a 40-second appearance to say that he is not in Venezuela as rumored, but in Tripoli.

"I want to have some rest," the embattled Libyan leader told a reporter in front of what Libyan television said was his house as he pulled out an umbrella in the rain.

"Because I was talking to the young man at Green Square, and I want to stay the night with them but then it started raining. I want to show them that I am in Tripoli, not in Venezuela. Don't believe those dogs in the media."

Shades of his UN speech complaining of jet lag. I'm tired, you're tired.....blah, blah.....

Seemed to have enough energy to blather on for 100 minutes. Even his interpreter got sick of it.

If you've read some of the articles posted today, the whole country is a literal slum. North Korean architecture with Havana upkeep.

In Tripoli, in Caracas, in limbo, and in trouble. Wherever he is or goes may his a$$ be kicked and his bu$$ as well. Got Oil, Mo? Suck it up and immolate yourself.

Maybe that wasn’t an umbrella. Maybe it was a Libyan TOTUS.
