BAGHDAD GIGGLES
The Arab Street responds to Saddam’s underpants humiliation:
They’re laughing at Saggy Hussein. AP reports:
Hamza Adnan, 8, Jinan Jassim, Ayah Faiz, 5, and Duha Munaf, 16, from left, watch Dubai-based satellite television station al-Arabiya in a house in the Karada area of Baghdad, Friday May 20, 2005, as it broadcasts Friday’s front page of Britain’s mass circulation tabloid newspaper, the Sun, showing Saddam Hussein standing in his white underwear while folding what appears to be a brown pair of trousers.
The Sun should launch an Arab-language edition. Looks like they’ve got a large potential readership.
