A Gem

I happened upon this quote from Jon Stewart, the host of The Daily Show on Comedy Central: "Saddam Hussein stood up at his trial and shouted, `I am not afraid of execution!' Until his lawyers explained, `You are not going to execute anybody. It's you that is going to be executed.' At which point [Saddam] said in Arabic, and this is a rough translation, `Ah, my bad.'"
