Story of the Day: Cartoonist Takes a Whack at Saddam's Execution

Stephanie McMillan reminds us of the most absurd aspect of Saddam's execution (much worse than the taunting). Another thing the mainstream media had no time to note.

And talk about out of sight, out of mind. Saddam’s botched execution, one more Bush administration blunder in Iraq, managed to help fuel a butcher’s unlikely martyrdom. Yes, Saddam the Martyr. Congratulations, gentlemen. The degree of difficulty there is close to George W. Bush being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Or Dick Cheney People magazine’s Sexiest Man of the Year.

Meanwhile, in the States, if you were, say, in a coma the week Saddam was whacked, it would be quite easy not to realize he’s already been put to death.

Plunk. One more down the memory hole.   

It's Sunday. We have to suffer through The Decider's State of the Union Address in two days. Mirth it up while you have the chance:
