Moammar Gadhafi has gone mad.<\/p>\n

He showed up at the United Nations dressed like a Bedouin shepherd. It took him 15 minutes to take the podium after being introduced — as the “king of kings” no less. Then he launched into a 98-minute “speech” that covered everything from the usual rants about Israel to suggesting a probe into President Kennedy’s assassination. (Hint, Mr. Dictator\/Despot: been there, done that.)<\/p>\n

I was struck by his appearance, which is that, to my eyes, looked like he’d been rode hard and put up wet. One of my colleagues, City Editor Dave Warren, said Gadhafi looked like he’d had a bad makeover. Another colleague, columnist Jon Mark Beilue, said the Libyan strongman looked like a Saturday Night Live parody of himself.<\/p>\n

I don’t as a rule make fun of people’s looks, but when you’re a known sponsor of international terrorism — who hugged a convicted terrorist upon his return home recently after being released from a Scottish prison — then I choose to make an exception.<\/p><\/div>\n\n
