Big Bomb Blast in Central Baghdad

FNC | 4/5/03 | Kiran Chetry

A large bomb blast hit 300 feet from the hotel where most journalists are staying in Baghdad, and directly on top of the location where "Baghdad Bob" (Minister of Information) holds his propaganda briefings.

[Yankee]

A high explosive version of STFU.

I love it.

[demlosers]

Where's Baghdad Bob gonna do his BS spin show now?

Where's Baghdad Bob gonna do his BS spin show now?

From the banks of the River Styx, I hope.

[KansasCanadian]

Spin this, Baghdad Boy

[PokeyJoe]

Did somebody on FOX call him "Baghdad Bob" yet?

That'll help make his title official.

[patton]

But was he "on air" at the time? And did Bob go "off air"?

[DannyTN]

If he's not careful he will be "Blasted to Bits Baghdad Bob".

[Yankee]

Yes, and repeatedly.

I believe Captain David Christian originally coined it, and the FOX staff has embraced it. Shep uses it all the time.

[KansasCanadian]

I am actually deeply saddened by this because he provided most of the comedy to date

I can see it now.

Sorry Bob but after 100,000 dead martyrs in two weeks we're fresh out of virgins.

BUMP

[Aeronaut]

I can see the report now: "This building has not been blown up. We have completely crushed the opposition and we chose to open this room up to better airflow."

[Yankee]

Sorry Bob but after 100,000 dead martyrs in two weeks we're fresh out of virgins.

Sign in Allahs window:

"Virgins" Wanted. Top pay and benefits.

One-timers OK

[Cousin Eddie]

troubled, too.

[Yankee]

I think Ole' Bob picked a bad day to give up sniffing glue.

Me too. Baghdad Bob is a truly gifted standup comedian.

[Minty]

Me too! :(
I always looked for to see which new lies he would bring and like the limbo dance: "how low he would go"....

Bye bye Baghdad Bobbie

[Parley Baer]

I was hoping to see either the Marines or Army guys storm the room while he was on the air during his "briefing". Then our guys could finish the briefing. Hehehehe. Parley

There was no American mercenary bomb. My legs are still in place, you just can't see them due to our great Iraqi camoflage system. We have also decided to paint the floors underneath me red as a sign to the bastard dogs mercenaries that we are not afraid of them. As you can see I am wearing a large jagged new medal in my chest that I was just awarded by Saddam which proves that he is well and happy. Everything is turning grey because of our new weather control device that will defeat the Americans. That buzzing sound is the sound of our hidden special division of tanks rushing to fight the Americans. Everything is turning black but it was not us that cut off the electricity. I have decided to lay down now because I have no worries because the Americans are far away and I can afford to rest easily here on the floor. It is getting so cold because Allah has sent a freezing wind to destroy the infidel. I am shaking and twitching here on the floor because I am laughing at the running dogs. Do not let your eyes decieve you, that is not Satan coming to take me away, it is..............

[Yankee]

Me too. Baghdad Bob is a truly gifted standup comedian.

There's no guarantee that Bob was there to sign for the "package".

I look forward to his next broadcast, probably from a chicken truck on the road to Damascus.
