JEDDAH (Reuters) - Former dictator Idi Amin, blamed for the murder of tens of thousands of Ugandans in the 1970s, died on Saturday in a Saudi hospital where he had been critically ill for weeks, a senior medical source said

"We can confirm that Mr Idi Amin has died from complications due to multiple organ failure," the source at King Faisal Specialist Hospital in the Red Sea city of Jeddah.

I hope they put a stake through his heart.

Before he died.

Don't know whether I should toast it or not.

As Hoplite said, "stick a fork in him"

But I advise against munching on a cannibal. He might have been suffering from Mad Vow disease.

He has been dying plenty lately, I hope this time it doesn't change.

"Good riddens to bad rubbish i say he admired hitler so much now they can both trade war stories with each other in hell".


"I thought he never would die...I shouldn't talk like that about him though. He dead. They say you shouldn't say nothing about the dead unless you can say something good. He dead. GOOD!"

Let's see...how many times has he died now? Five? Six?

[Catspaw]

I believe the consensus is "Stick a fork in him".

LOL! There have been so many reports of his death that it's hard to believe it's finally true.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Bump.

I won't believe it until I hear it from Chevy Chase.

[Clara Lou]

Idi, Uday, and Qusay - may they all roast in Hell and have more company soon.
Here's a big "Amen!"

[Huber]

I won't believe it until I hear it from Chevy Chase.

...and this just in; Generalissimo Idi Amin Dada is still dead. Also, please do not forget our appeal. Please send your contribution to "Cheese fondue sets for Namibia". Now we go to point - counterpoint... Jane, you ignorant slut...

I'm sure Tom Daschle is "saddened --deeply saddened."

As far as Islam is concerned, all peace is hudna.

[wysiwyg]

I'm thinking BBQ.

Someone should make a movie about that...

[solitas]

Um, actually, Ackroyd (the fat, cheesy-looking guy in the charter cable commercials of late) did the 'ignorant slut' bit with Curtin (who was memorable for her "I'm not wearing any panties" bit).

[lorrainer]

Listen...chaps...there's still a chance. I'm...done for, I've...got a gamy leg and I'm going fast; I'll never get through. But...some of you might. So...you'd better eat me.

You didn't eat the leg, Thompson. There's still plenty of good meat. Look at that arm.

You guys remind me of Monty Python's Lifeboat Sketch! LOL!

[You Dirty Rats]

Also memorable for complaining about how she compared unfavorably to "that sexy Chevy Chase" and then ripping her shirt open to expose a black lace bra.

[ChemistCat]

Some people can't die often enough to suit me.

Okay, now I know how FReepers feel about this historic event.

How does DU feel? ;-) Is Daschle "deeply saddened"?

[wysiwyg]

What the Hell is going on? is he dead or not?

Somebody should put a bullet or two into his head just to make sure.

Notice how the sky seems to be a bit bluer this morning, and the birds seem to be singing a bit more sweetly?
