Holy smokes.
1) Who was the guy Bush presented, who saved someone from a subway train killing him? Selfless act? Absolutely. Ridiculously hilarious? “You the man.”
2) What an amazingly heartwarming Democratic response. Oh, snap!

November 5, 2006To Death! By Hanging! How archaic!
From the BBC:
Saddam Hussein sentenced to death
Today at 2:24 PM
Saddam Hussein has been convicted of crimes against humanity and sentenced to death by hanging.
The former Iraqi leader was convicted over the killing of 148 people in the mainly Shia town of Dujail following an assassination attempt on him in 1982.
His half-brother Barzan al-Tikriti and Iraq’s former chief judge Awad Hamed al-Bandar were also sentenced to death.
Former Vice-President Taha Yassin Ramadan got life in jail and three others received 15-year prison terms.
Another co-defendant, Baath party official Mohammed Azawi Ali, was acquitted.
Saddam Hussein and his co-defendants will be given the right to appeal, but that is expected to take only a few weeks and to end in failure for the defendants.
