He's comparing himself to the Queen...

This speech is epic.

Gaddafi is talking at long last. He starts off in bizarre fashion, accusing protesters of drinking pills that make them commit "animal acts". He says the protesters have been brainwashed by Osama bin Laden, whose people have been giving protesters these pills.

Gaddafi has not yet assumed room temperature yet I take it. It seems like he is going down the Saddam Hussein track.

Isn't all the oil in east Libya, now out of Gaddafi's control?  How long can he last with no dough coming in?

Quadaffi is pretty cool, you have to admit.  Heck they all were.

Reminded me of this picture...



Yeah, a bunch of bores (even our president, who quite frankly is a handsome, lanky dude), and Quadaffi, a cool guy for sure.  Medevedeve and Sarkozy look particularly worthless.

Ben Ali: made three speeches to TV before fleeing.

Mubarak: made three speeches to TV before fleeing.

Gaddafi: has made three bizarre and incoherent speeches.

See a pattern?

     Not sure the pattern will hold up. It seems quite obvious that this dictator doesn't have his ducks in a row, so it's really anyone's guess what will happen.

Gaddafi is sounding like Glenn Beck these days.  I'm surprised he didn't come out with a chalkboard and pictures of Karl Marx.

More like Bin Laden, since Gaddafi is blaming everything on al-Qaeda. Including Western journalists who, according to Gaddafi, are also working for al-Qaeda. Or something.

On the Twitter account of a certain politician:

Gaddafi has biological and chemical weapons, and will not hesitate to use them.

Unconfirmed media reports say Ghaddafi's son, Saif al-Arab, has joined the protesters.  I emphasize "unconfirmed" because no reliable news sources have picked up on the story, yet, that I can find.

Gaddafi seems to have realized to a degree that fear isn't working - now he's trying bribery.
