WE KNOW THEY DID IT ON PURPOSE
But it's a fine headline just the same.
Whoops. We are reminded that this blog is too classy to link to such things, so please disregard this post.

Bush? Pants? Probing? I thought this blog was too classy to link to something like that.

“I think it’s a strategy duly orchestrated by the Americans to destroy the image of Saddam Hussein — to say ‘look at this man, he’s not a god, he’s only a man’.”
Ya think so? He's only a man? And he puts his pants on the same as the rest of us?
DON'T TELL ME IT'S SO!!!!!
NOOOOOOO!

Someone will have to explain to Bush what it means AND why it's funny!
Posted by: Sondra | May 22, 2005 at 08:51 AM

we'll get to the bottom of it
make it stop, make it stop!!!

Think Sadam flushed his toilet and Russian lost another lake?
Guess they don't have Low Flow toilet problems!
Posted by: kibby F5 | May 22, 2005 at 09:00 AM
To the Sun's journalists I say please,
No more shots of Saadam's BVDs.
He would look very comic
With a wedgie atomic
But go back to the cheesecake and sleaze!

Posted by: Sondra | May 22, 2005 at 09:43 AM

Posted by: kibby F5 | May 22, 2005 at 10:17 AM

*zips back in*
No, I have more - I have a Yiddish Word of the Day calendar and it seems appropriate for this post.
Class will come to order.
From this article it appears that Pres. Bush is having gehokte tsores today.
(geh-hok-teh tsoor-ris)
Literally, chopped troubles, deep problems
Class, make up a sentence using said word -
insom, you go first.....

The Tyranosaurus
caused the Brontosaurus
some gehokte tsores.

His spokesman said: “He has been briefed. He wants to get to the bottom of it.”
Since I know the Bush administration does not have a sense of humor as we know it, I think we can safely assume the Sun put those words in the "spokesman"'s mouth.
insom: one more from Rodney in Back to School if I may:
"What's your major? Poetry? Maybe you can help me straighten out my Longfellow."
Thank you, thank you, great crowd, I'll be here all week!

I'd go to Arcturus
To avoid gehokte tsuris.

Sondra? Was that an hiaku?
Posted by: kibby F5 | May 22, 2005 at 02:10 PM
I thought about it after the fact. It was close. But unlike others on this blog, I neither write nor admire hiaku. To each his own. I'll have mine buttered.

Nice one Judy. You just violated the Geneva Convention. The Swiss Guard are going to take away your brithday.
Posted by: Brad | May 22, 2005 at 03:08 PM
... brithday ... is that like a brisday -- with a lithp?
Posted by: U.O | May 22, 2005 at 03:19 PM
hey U!
bwahaha!:)
brad...that was a good one:)
Posted by: omgosh! | May 22, 2005 at 03:30 PM
Does anyone else besides me think it's highly amusing that Bush has found this sudden interest in abiding by the Geneva Conventions?? Apparently, it's perfectly OK if US soldiers torture and vilify prisoners, but GOD FORBID they take photos of Saddam in his underwear! (Just my take on this... seems like Bush didn't go out of his way to castigate people about the prison atrocities the way he's mouthing off about this.)

J.M. -
that about sums it up ...
Posted by: U.O | May 22, 2005 at 05:38 PM
Anyone find it interesting that Saddam's lawyer is French?
Posted by: Bumble | May 22, 2005 at 05:44 PM
those tighty-whities in the photo look like a bad cut and paste job!! and/or possibly an ad for clorox. odd fit, edges a bit too crisp for this crap-cam photo, AND blindingly white....
Posted by: kathy | May 22, 2005 at 08:17 PM
Fun Fact!
In his younger days, President Gerald R. Ford was an underwear model for the Sears Roebuck catalog.
That really has nothing to do with anything. Except, I guess, photos of world leaders in their underwear.
Which will never replace photos of actresses on the beach topless. A fact that I hope the Sun never forgets.
Posted by: alanboss | May 22, 2005 at 08:47 PM
disgusting.
Posted by: Bangi_Sizzles | May 22, 2005 at 11:02 PM
bwaaaahaaaa...!! we need much more yiddish on this blog. gehakte tsurris [slightly different pronunciation] doesnt quite cover it. come to think of it, neither do his tighty whitees..... in spite of that, its a shonde [shame] that anybody would take pics of anybody else in their gotkees [underwear].Vay iz mir!
Posted by: queensbee | May 23, 2005 at 02:44 AM
queensbee, you said a mouthful. I think it's time for a game of Rock, Paper, Saddam!
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | May 23, 2005 at 04:50 AM
a riotous website Jeff. i suspect that some goniff [thief] will try to sell saddam's shorts on ebay. Mahatma - are they already out there?!
Saddam's tighty whitees - agnfarb?
