Saddam: The Musical!
Saddam has a book out and I kid you not, the title is: GET OUT OF HERE, CURSE YOU. Okay maybe I did kid you but Allahpundit is right, in that it would be an appropriate title!
Itsuko Hirata said the book shows him to be “delicate and tender.”
Hirata believes the current novel, issued in a cover patterned with violets, was written by Saddam and has a melodic clarity to it that suggests it could be adapted to the stage.
“I really think this book should be made into a musical,” she said. “And once this is done, it should play in the heart of his enemy’s country, on Broadway.”
The proposed musical, It’s A Gas, about a group of mischievous, singing-and-dancing cats who are systematically raped and gassed, is set to hit 42nd Street sometime in 2008.

This reminds me of “Springtime for Hitler”. Except that was just a joke, in a movie (The Producers).
This is for real?

I just went back and reread this topic again. So this Hirata woman actually believes what she said?
Is it possible that this could become a cult hit with the BHDS crowd? Not only did Bush lie about WMD and invade Iraq for oil, he hurt this “delicate and tender” leader, Saddam Hussein! He hurt Saddam’s feelings!
No wonder Bin Laden hates the U.S.! Bush must have hurt his feelings too! After the Bush inaugural in 2000, when Bin Laden was snubbed and not invited, maybe that’s when he made up his mind to attack on 9/11!
The BHDS crowd has endless possibilities here…

Oooh Ooooh Can I choose which Hollywood actors get to play the roles of the people fed into the shredder?
There should be a fairly long list of volunteers as it would truly be a once in a lifetime role and would certainly make each of the actors a shoe in for a “Best Supporting Actor/Actress” Tony award nomination. Of course the award would have to be given posthumously but if the Congressional Medal of Honor can be given posthumously, why not a Tony?
Sorry about that, but it just HAD to be said.

I’d start with Michael Moore, but would he fit into the shredder? Anyone know? Anyone have a spec sheet on the shredders the benevolent and gentle, sensitive Saddam used?
But then again, it’s the movies. Anything is possible.

Start with Michael Moore and Rosie O’donnell. Get those shedders well lubed from all the lard. In the second act we can move on to Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins, that way they can keep the til death do us part to a minimum. Alec Baldwin could help Robbins into the machine and then climb in to join him. God knows Baldwin wouldn’t want to miss out on a chance to get ANY kind of award. We could of course have Al Franken pretend to be a soccer player, he’d only have to lose 50 lbs to be able to sort of look athletic. From there the list is wide open for the remainder of the second act and all of the third.
Of course Martin Sheen would be President as he (as do many of his small cadre of viewers) seem to think that he actually IS president instead of only playing one on TV. Any additions anyone else would like to make?

I’ve had my own idea for some time now for a lighthearted comedy musical, based on the Iraq/middle east/jihad/terrorism thing.
It would be about Mustafa and Mohammed, two young Jihadist friends who met in terrorism school, and chronicles their adventures on their spring break weekend as they jaunt around Baghdad setting bombs, shooting into crowds, vandalizing businesses, terrorizing, and just generally having a lot of good fun!
It will be called “Those Wacky Iraqis!”. I didn’t know if the world was ready for it, but if this nutjob Hirata’s musical hits paydirt, I’m going to complete my project…
