Who's The Man? Not you!

For those of you who don't know, my mom is obsessed with the TV show Law and Order. She watches every episode of every spin off, at least once. So there have been a lot of court cases and judges on my television, but the Saddam trial is definatly the most interesting one yet!

Saddam started making a big mess of things when he took the stand today and starting rallying the Iraqis to stand up to the American invasion. He said, in his native language, "I call on the people to start resisting the invaders instead of killing each other." Then the judge jumped in and started telling Saddam "Don't make a political speech. Now you are a defendant."

Apparently somebody forgot to tell Saddam that he isn't the leader of Iraq! He then went on arguing that it IS politics and he's the head of the state, blah blah blah. The judge informed him that he's NOT the head of the state, but a former dictator. Anyways, the arguing went on and on, and after 35, the judge ordered the microphones to be shut off and a media blackout.

Ya know, it looks really bad when important people seem to know so little about seemingly obvious things... like who they or where they are. Between Saddam not knowing that he was no longer the president, and Paul McCartney not knowing he was in PEI, I suddenly don't feel all that dumb anymore.
