Today’s gem from Sahhaf, reported in the Washington Post:
Damn I feel left out, I haven’t seen him on the tube yet, I’ve only read the things he said.
I forget what pundit first noted this, but it’s true:
Baghdad Bob is the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
“It’s just a flesh wound!”
I think y’all’ll appreciate B3TA’s take on Baghdad Bob.
OK, so what did vBulletin do to my linky?
Tried again, still doesn’t work.
Oh well, it was very funny.
Would this be the mocking you were looking for, jjimm:
Indeed, though I was trying to link directly to the image.
Nice one sir.
heh.
So has anybody compiled a comprehensive list of this Pischer’s daffy lunatic rantings?
I’d love to see a video compilation of his ‘press conferences’ released on DVD with a timeframe of what the coaltion forces were doing at the time he says they were not doing them.
A split screen with video of some of the more blatant contradictions would be nice.
For example: Mr. Information Minister saying, “There are no American troops in Bagdad.” with video of troops driving down Bagdad highways, touring the palaces or blowing up Sadaam’s statue.
Because of work I have only seen parts of two conferences live and the clips on the news at night are just not enough.
They are even better than the Allied press conferences during the first Gulf War were you could absoultely count on at least every other question being, “When is the war/air war/ground war going to start?” As if the American general holding briefings was actually going to tell them. Those reporters never gave up though. Persistant buggers.
I felt sorry for that General after a while. He was so patient with them everytime he said, “I can’t tell you.” That man really earned his pay.

This guy is a crackup.
I want someone to invent a stealth tank. A cartoon style, stealth tank that can creep around on tip toed tracks. I just really want to see a sort of Pantomime style “it’s behind you” episode while this guy’s doing his routine.
Of course they’ll need to replace the main gun with an anvil firing device for true comedy, but I’m sure there’s a scientist out there somewhere up to the task.
This guy is hysterical. here’s his explanation of why American tanks were seen in the street:
SNL did a pretty good sketch about that at the time kind of like:
General: Okay, you are free to ask questions but remember that I will not be giving out any sensitive information.
Reporter #1: General. When are where are the American ground groups going to enter, and what tactics will they be using?
General: That is a good example of sensitive information I am unable to give at the time:
Reporter#2: General, What is the U.S. force’s greatest weekness, and how can the Iraqis best exploit that weekness?
General: Okay, once again that falls into the area of information that is too sensitive to give out.
I’m wondering when BB is going to announce that Iraq has just invaded the United States.
Unless this guy’s a master of self-delusion, he’s a case study in cognitive dissonance.
I love this guy. He is almost the herald to what the forces do next. I personally think they watch this meatball just to boink him a few times with some live camera feed opposing every freakin word he says.
I expect a conference very soon with him standing over a ledge overlooking Bagdad professing “Iraqi victory” as you see a couple of Forces guys stop a tank behind him and moon for effect.
Hell don’t kill this guy. Hire him as the GOP Spin Doctor!
This guy is begging for a .swf file. Maybe something like “hat” or viking kittens?
Dontcha wish he’d end his press conferences with a Sam Kinison-like, “Aaow, aaow, aaaaaooooooow!”?
I just saw his latest press conference where he says that Chemical Ali is not dead, he just has a really bad cold.
