What are the odds that Garry Trudeau will now pen a Doonesbury comic with anyone gleefully shouting this about Saddam's verdict with as much enthusiasm as Mark the DJ had for the guilty verdicts after Watergate?
And, of course, how long will it be before someone on the Angry Left questions the timing of the verdict? (Well, that didn't take long.)
DOWNDATE: If you find yourself arguing for mercy for Saddam Hussein, as the EU reflexively does, may I suggest that perhaps it is time to go back and check your first principles.
DOUBLE DOWNDATE: I think I'll stay up late and watch this tonight.
TRIPLE DOWNDATE: Beating the dead horse...
EU Condemns Saddam's Condemnation!
I Condemn the EU's Condemnation of Saddam's Condemnation!
Your turn.
