It's hard to wish for something bad to happen to someone who make you laugh so hard.
It's hard to find anybody who doesn't like Baghdad Bob. During the war, whenever Fox News would announce that the "Iraqi Information Minister" was going to be making an address shortly, I remained glued to the TV until he came on and howled with laughter during his outrageous pronouncements.
How can you not like a guy who provided such great comic relief during a stressful situation?
