Best Gaddafi speech one-liners

02/22/2011 by backofthebook.ca

gaddafi_speechHere, from our Twitter feed, the best one-liners from those watching the Gaddafi speech (and yes, he’s still a murderous despot):

InklessPW Paul Wells
You see how far Libya is from Western standards of democracy when you see how little thought Gaddafi has given to set design.

kady kady o’malley
So, is he going to scrum afterwards?

@roseneath_rd
I have no idea why we all worried about selling arms to this man

@PDuffysGhost
Gaddafi should get a twitter account.

@christineestima Christine Estima
YO GADDAFI IM REAL HAPPY 4U & IMMA LET YOU FINISH, BUT MUBARAK HAD THE BEST DESPERATE DICTATOR SPEECH OF ALL TIME.

@warrenellis
Gadaffi’s speech seems to boil down to “Everyone is on drugs except me. Also I am Batman.”

InklessPW Paul Wells
I’ve heard wedding toasts that were way too much like this.

Gahafi: Just another asshole who thinks doing Improv is easy.

wmacphail Wayne MacPhail
What does Gaddafi have against tablets? Has he tried the Xoom? Clearly insane.

TurboLiberal
He’s offering Libyans to come into the big, leopard printed tent at the centre of Libyan life.

BorowitzReport Andy Borowitz
After 5 yrs of silence, Clarence Thomas finally speaks: “Gaddafi needs to shut the fuck up.”

TabathaSouthey Tabatha Southey
This is when someone should say “Amazing, #Gaddafi, so interesting. You should start a blog!” and then everyone goes to the bar.

Guess they’ll add the laugh-track in post-producton.
