Big Bomb Blast in Central Baghdad references Baghdad Bob quite heavily!

I hope someone has the smarts to collect all his appearances on a "Best of Baghdad Bob" DVD. I would buy it in a heartbeat!

Where is Baghdad Bob?

Surely he must have some explanation for A-10's flying low over the city, shooting up the place! What about the M1A1's sitting on the bridges across the Tigris?

Baghdad Bob, where are you?

Hey Gally, funny stuff.

Did you know there's a Mr. Mulliner on here, too?

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

I would think it would be best shelved at places like Blockbuster next to "Jon Lovitz and the Best of the Liars Club"!!! ;-)

Welcome to FR! You'll fit in quite well around here. FR is loaded with intelligent people with senses of humor! ;-)

For my money Mohammed is the man to replace Angus Deayton on Have I Got News For You. He'd soon shut that little jerk Ian Hisplop up. "PLEASE...NO MORE PATHETIC JOKES! DON'T BE STUPID!"

LOL! I don't know anything about TV in the UK but that's hilarious.

Thank you both

Actually, I have noted the "Mr. Mulliner" screen name here (I've been prowling around FR for some time, like the troops of Midian).

I smell a SNL skit coming.

Would Baghdad Bob be journalistic propaganda and bias at it's best?

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Hey Gally, funny stuff.

Actually, I was contemplating calling him "Threep" for short. After all, it does rhyme with "FReep"! (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)

I think he went to the Bill and Hillary Clinton School of Statemanship. Deny, Deny Deny.

It was absolutely priceless to watch him last night denying we were in Baghdad while our troops were on live TV storming the palace just a short distance away.

[azGOPgal]

I thought that was the greatest. I didn't see it last nite, but I saw it in the clips they played today. It is totally beyond me that he could deny our troops' presence in Baghdad when they are just across the street.

They interviewed one soldier, and he said that next time he see's the Disinformation minister outside again saying the troops aren't in Baghdad, he's going to go over to him and say "Here we are!"

Baghdad Bob is married to Morgan Fairchild.

Baghdad Bob must be conveniently deaf........ and probably dumb.

[demnomo]

I posted on an earlier thread that this baddie was straight out of central casting. Baghdad Bob. I wonder if he got smooshed in that restaurant bunker bombing? I really wanted our troops to go in and capture him live on the air. What a perp walk that would be. :)

I probably shouldn't admit this, but I look forward to seeing him on TV. I love the way he butchers (no pun intended) the English language and his hilarious choice of words. He is a bit of comic relief.

[DBtoo]

What a great idea! I would buy it too. He is too funny!
