Iraq Information Minister 'Comical Ali' is alive, well and still in Baghdad, it was claimed last night.

Mohammed Saeed Al Sahaf--the Saddam Hussein spokesman who denied Americans were in Baghdad when they could be seen behind him-- still wears his trademark green beret and army uniform, say reports.

He disappeared on the day Saddam's statue was toppled (after looting $200,000.00 from the Iraqi Foriegn Journalist 'expense account'-ed) and it was thought that he could have committed suicide or even escaped.

But last night it was reported that he is now a broken man who stays at home with his wife Larnia, two sons and a daughter. He won't talk about what he has been through and friends are worried he is losing his mind.

His main fear is attack from Iraqis. Government worker Hassan Abas says: 'We hate him for claiming Baghdad was safe. People want to kill him now.'

Crazy like a fox! Finally, a man worthy of being Rev. Al Sharptons 2004 running mate..

They ought to make him Admin Moderator over at DU.

Hoping for this to be a top selling Halloween mask this fall. Any Freeper entrepeneurs out there that can do that?

The Hindustan Times says that the US Tanks do a regular 'roll by' on Baghdad Bobs Baghdad House to try and keep him safe.

There must be some Tank Commanders with a really good sense of humor..

I can't think of a hotter costume this fall..maybe Mark Garagos masks!

friends are worried he is losing his mind

Dan Quayle's malapropism might be appropriate here: "What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is."

[EggsAckley]

ooooh.....ANOTHER good one!

They're parroting him enough already. Denial I tell you.....

"Bush will be fallen in 2004. We will hit him with our shoes."

"Already Bush's popularity is zero across America. Even the base is abondoning him. The war has failed and the economy is doing even worse. We will roast his stomach."

And don't forget the ever popular "Dean appeals to Americans of all types."

That's my favorite DUism.

[Tijeras_Slim]

"Dean appeals to Americans of all types."

But then again, conservatives are individuals. Most liberals are a "type". :)

Things might be rough right now, but you can't keep a bad man down.

I have heard CNN is trying to get Baghdad Bob on the staff. They are trying to establish credibility, and this guy has more credibility than all the rest of their news readers combined, after all.

[EggsAckley]

[Tijeras_Slim]

Or head of the DNC.

They might have a better chance if he replaced Terrible Terry.

"Already the surgury was a success. The appendix was no match for my skill. It committed suicide upon the initial incision. I beat it with my shoe as it is roasting in hell."

Add it to your file, girlfriend!

It has been said before here. With the sad state of "comedy" on US TV, he has a real chance at a future on Saturday Night Live or a situation comedy. He looted $200,000 of Sadam's publicity money? Heck, that wouldn't even get him a seat in the executive lounge of many corporations.

He has great delivery, great stage presence, and a comedian's face. C'mon over, Bagdad Bob!
