HUSSEIN'S UNDERPANTS: who cares?
J. Grant Swank, Jr.
I cannot believe all the newscasts are in his pants.
It's not obscene that a photographer took Saddam Hussein standing straight up in his white underwear. What is tawdry is the media making such a deal about it.Every hour on the hour it's the first news flashed around the world. A photo of the former dictator got to the front tabloid page. Now the global informed see the 68-year-old bloodhound in his undies.
I thought, "What is going on here? Surely it must be a slow news day. It has to be. Otherwise, this kind of underlining makes no sense at all. Not at all."
Then the newsfeeds go on to say that the US military is aghast. And more: there's going to be an investigation. Further: this pix could violate the Geneva whatevers!
All this new protection for the murderer excellent. All this coverage given to the uncovering of one of the most demonic wretches breathing. Yes.Then there has to be something desperately wrong with this picture. And it's not the one with a guy in his short. It's the media making hay out the guy in his shorts.
Unbelievable.
Well, I do suppose that we are all a bit weary about the filibuster bust in the Congress. So no doubt a sideline of Hussein baring his legs for the public is some sort of spring lark.
But really now.
