Who Let Qaddafi Out?

Libya’s leader, Colonel Muammar al-Qaddafi, gave a rambling speech at the United Nations that ran for 90 minutes instead of the allotted 15. The speech drew strong reactions ranging from approval by his supporters to rebuke by his critics to satire from a comic.

Neil MacFarquhar of The New York Times wrote, “At one point in his speech, Colonel Qaddafi waved aloft a copy of the United Nations charter and seemed to tear it, saying he did not recognize the authority of the document.”

On BorowitzReport.com, Comedian Andy Borowitz wrote:

An escaped mental patient broke into the United Nations yesterday, getting all the way to the General Assembly and delivering a ninety-minute speech.

A day after the stunning security breach, U.N. officials were still attempting to sort out how it was allowed to happen.

“We’re trying not to play the blame game here,” said U.N. spokesperson Carol Foyler. “The simple fact is, a legally insane man somehow got all the way to the podium, so how do we keep that from happening again?”

Theories abound as to how the mental patient made it to the U.N., with some suggesting that he may have escaped during a field trip to a county fair.

Reacting to the rambling and incoherent ninety-minute rant, Sec. of State Hillary Clinton echoed the feelings of many: “I was like, where’s Kanye when you need him?”

    For all his ranting he got exactly what he wanted….everyone talking about him and quoting him. Thats impressive for a 3rd world leader.
