Libyan leader Col. Moammar Gadhafi spoke to the U.N. today. And apparently, FCC regulations kept them from expressing exactly how batshit fucking crazy the guy’s speech was.
If most of the world didn’t already know him as a dictator and harborer of terrorists (if not himself a terrorist, I’d probably hail the speech as comedic genius.

He speaks f0r 1 1/2 hours – long enough for his interpreter to just give up and call for backups. He refers to “the United States of America of Africa,” does no favors for reasonable Americans when he promises support for a lifetime presidency for Obama, and demands answers – real answers – about the Kennedy assassination.
It’s actually completely hilarious. At least until you realize he’s serious.
President Obama also spoke to the U.N. today, but he stepped out before Gadhafi began. In fact, even “Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice exited the room before the speech, leaving low-level note-takers in their places to hear the speech.”
It sounds like the ‘low-level note-takers’ probably had the better time.
