An Award • La Palme

Fired from France by the dissident frogman

It would be worth searching a bit of course but I'm under the impression that Saddam Hussein would deserve an award for the Most Ridiculous Fall for a Dictator:
« Official: Saddam Dug Hole to Hide Himself

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Saddam Hussein, trapped in a cellar, dug a hole and buried himself as U.S. soldiers moved into the house where he was hiding, an Iraqi official said Sunday.

"The American soldiers had to use shovels to dig him out," Entifadh Qanbar, spokesman for Governing Council member Ahmad Chalabi, told The Associated Press. »
All right, so Kim Jong Il has the world's largest collection of Daffy Duck cartoons.

Saddam is Daffy Duck.

 Cela vaudrait la peine de chercher evidemment mais j'ai comme l'impression que Saddam Hussein mériterait la palme de la Chute La Plus Ridicule pour un Dictateur:
« Officiel: Saddam avait creusé un trou pour se cacher

BAGDAD, Irak - Saddam Hussein, piégé dans une cave, a creusé un trou pour s'enterrer alors que les soldats US pénétraient dans la maison où il se cachait, a déclaré un officiel irakien dimanche.

"Les soldats américains ont dû utiliser des pelles pour l'en extraire," a déclaré Entifadh Qanbar, le porte parole du membre du Conseil Gouvernant Ahmad Chalabi à l'Associated Press. »
D'accord, donc Kim Jong Il possède la plus grande collection de dessins animés de Daffy Duck au monde.

Saddam est Daffy Duck.

Best news I've heard in a while. As for North Korea, I think you mean Kim Jong-il hs the largest Daffy Duck collection. Kim Il-sung died in 1994.

Todd,

You're right of course and I stand corrected.

Damn misleading Marxist dynasties.

What is it about lunatic Third World despots and old American animated cartoons? Idi Amin loved the old pre-World War II "Tom & Jerry" cartoons about the cat and mouse. He supposedly watched them for hours on end, then went out to watch political prisoners being tortured, then he would return home and watch Tom & Jerry some more.
