John McCain actually showed up this time on The Late Show With David Letterman last night, attempting to do some damage control for dissing Dave at the last minute for Katie Couric last month. When Dave called him out, John's excuse was "I screwed up." So, anotherwords....he's a politician. Pretty catchy though, that would make a good campaign slogan.
After Dave let him off way too easily they spoke a bit about America's Newest Sweetheart, Joe the Plumber.
Speaking of Joe, TMZ reported today that he owes $1,182.98 in back taxes and that his name isn't even Joe, it's Sam! I guess he figured Sam was already taken by butchers, but still, I feel so deceived!!! I just ordered my t-shirt and everything! I'm gonna go post on a Clay Aiken messageboard now.
By the way, is it just me or does Joe--I mean, Sam--The Plumber look an awful lot like Stone Cold Steve Austin?
After watching last night's Presidential debate, I have finally decided who I am going to vote for! In eighteen days I will write my vote for Joe the Plumber!
Apparently I'm not the only one that had this brilliant idea. Not even 24 hours later, you can buy your very own Joe the Plumber t-shirt HERE. I seriously predict this guy will get more votes than Nader ever did.
Hillary Clinton will be a character on South Park tomorrow night. Sources from the network would not discuss the details of the plot, but told the New York Daily News the storyline will focus on a local rally for Clinton's political campaign. We'll have to tune in to find out if it's Trapped in the Closet-good. SOURCE
BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Defiant to the end, Saddam Hussein mocked Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr moments before he was hanged, a witness said Saturday.
The Iraqi government executed Hussein before dawn as punishment for his role in a massacre of his own people, more than two decades before he was toppled by a U.S.-led invasion.
A video of the execution broadcast on Al-Iraqiya state television showed Hussein, dressed in a black overcoat, being led into a room by three masked guards
A witness, Iraqi Judge Munir Haddad, said that one of the executioners told Hussein that the former dictator had destroyed Iraq, which sparked an argument that was joined by several government officials in the room.
As a noose was tightened around Hussein's neck, one of the executioners yelled "long live Muqtada al-Sadr," Haddad said, referring to the powerful anti-American Shiite religious leader.
Hussein, a Sunni, mockingly uttered one last phrase before he died: "Muqtada al-Sadr," according to Haddad's account.
The judge said Hussein appeared "totally oblivious to what was going on around him. I was very surprised. He was not afraid of death."
But Haddad's description of Hussein's demeanor before his execution contrasts markedly with another witness, Iraqi national security adviser Mowaffak al-Rubaie. "He was a broken man," al-Rubaie said. "He was afraid. You could see fear in his face."
