Man of the Year

To go with the annual A to Z, I was going to institute the BunkoSquad Man of the Year Award this December.

But the rest of the year will be anticlimactic; Iraqi Minister of Information Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf has already sewn up the award. For bravely claiming that Iraq was winning the war, as US tanks rumbled along behind him. For inventing crazy and colorful new epithets to hurl at the enemy. And for being the sole source of humor in the grim early days of America Gone Wild. The fact that a web site devoted to al-Sahaf was overloaded and crashed right after it launched (no Black Hawk jokes, please) shows I'm not alone in thinking this guy has a great late-night talk-show career ahead of him.

So congratulations, Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf. You're BunkoSquad's Man of the Month for April.

PS: The first picture here had me cackling hysterically.
