My Addled Brain

I was just waiting for him to call it a “travishamockery”. Sadly, this was not to be - Saddam pulls a Milosevic and challenges the legitimacy of the court, who are you to put the president of Iraq on trial, don’t you know who I am (a crowd favorite, that one), and then I think he mentioned something about the judge not being able to handle the truth. All quite riveting, but I think trying to impersonate Nicholson while doing so was a bit much.

In the end, everyone pleaded innocent, the judge granted a continuance to the defense for what appear to be legit grounds, but IANAILE. I don’t think it will make a difference in the end - he’ll be found guilty of enough crimes to keep him, at the very least, behind bars for the rest of his life. He may get the death penalty, but I imagine whether he does or not will rest solely on the political direction of the country come sentencing. Don’t get me wrong - the guy can’t possibly be punished enough for what he’s done. But I think they could just hire actors to perform the trial, and the outcome would still be the same.

He should have just plead Tiger Hand. RAWR!

Yeah, it’s old, but I love that site.
