Well he may have us there.
The ever-popular " Baghdad Bob " has just been located ... in the USA ! ( We've seen a sneak preview of his new commercial. )
The sign on the big used car lot reads : BAGHDAD BOB'S BEST BUYS
Camera pans over acres and acres of rusted-out hulks, that are only barely recognizable as having once been automobiles - then zooms in for closeup of the once-famous Iraqi Information Minister: Mohammed Saeed Al-Sahhaf; better known to millions of bemused Americans as " Baghdad Bob ".
Baghdad Bob is still wearing his ( by now, kinda funky ) trademark Army uniform, complete with jaunty beret, and rows and rows of ribbons. As the commercial opens, we hear him say :
" C'mon down to Baghdad Bob's Best Buys , for deals that are steals , on cars which have already been broken in for you."
" By the way, some of my competitors say these are worn-out, repainted taxi cabs, with sawdust in the transmission. I say : They are great Liars : the spawn of Shaytan;the off-castings of the accursed Crusaders we defeated so ignominiously in Iraq !"
" C'mon down, and see for yourself what a mere $ 999.95 will buy ! "
PS: We checked with the INS to find out how Baghdad Bob was admitted into the United States. They referred us to the Dept. of Homeland Security, which issued the following statement: " Baghdad Bob ? Oh, yeah. Here it is: Student Visa, Temporary support Grant, Small Business Loan. Everything seems to be in order. "
In most cases I can't say I disagree with here.
