Clark's Clever Defense of Saddam
Saddam Hussein may just have a legitimate defense if he is able to appeal the conviction that is surely coming his way for some of his many crimes against humanity. Thanks to his loony-tunes lawyer Ramsey Clark, he will be in an excellent position to plead incompetent representation.
From AFP, via Generation Why?:
Ramsey Clark, the former US attorney general who is helping to defend Saddam, has submitted a motion recently claiming the judge "is not impartial and has a manifested bias against the defendant". ...
The defence claims Abdel Rahman is biased because he is a native of the Kurdish village of Halabja, the target of a 1988 chemical attack in which some 5,000 people, including women and children, were killed.
In other words, Rahman can't judge Saddam for committing genocide because — like everyone else in the country to one degree or another — he was affected by it.
Thanks to V the K for the tip, and to Doug for pointing out that Clark himself is tainted by bias in a case involving a terrorist dictator. After all, according to his fellow moonbats Clark is from the world's greatest terrorist nation — the USA.

What amazes me is how Clark is like the democratic party.. The enemy is the BTK killer who went in to kill a lib and after stabbing and stabbing, the enemy drops the knife and the lib picks it back up and hands it to him.
This Ramsey freak is so concerned about winning this game for recognition that he has literally become just as maniacle and wacked out as Sadaam.

Today's Tip: Moonbat Colorado Geography Teacher's Crazed Anti-American Classroom Rant Caught on Tape.
In the 20-minute recording, made on an MP3 player, teacher Jay Bennish described capitalism as a system "at odds with human rights." He also said there were "eerie similarities" between what Bush said during his Jan. 28 State of the Union address and "things that Adolf Hitler used to say."
The United States was "probably the single most violent nation on planet Earth," Bennish also said on the tape.
I am sure my kid would have stood up and said, "If you hate America so much, why don't you move to France." (My kid got suspended for calling his teacher a communist once).

Yeah the pocket pool player does look familiar. Isn't he now the Senator from Davos, Switzerland? ;-)

Seriously, if I remember correctly, his father, Supreme Court Justice Tom Clark resgined his seat rather than serve while Ramsey was Attorney General.
