Talk too long together.
What do Sarah Palin and Muramar Khadafi have in common?
THEY BOTH KNOW HOW TO TALK TOO LONG!
From our man on the scene in Hong Kong:
What they got was 90 minutes of boredom which had half the audience fiddling endlessly with their Blackberries. Ninety percent of her speech could have been – and probably was – written for a domestic US audience receptive to her "mom and pop" populism. Indeed the only newsworthy aspect of the speech was why her remarks had to be kept private despite their predictability
Just like her soulmate:
Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi took advantage of his biggest stage yet, his first-ever address to the United Nations General Assembly, and delivered a diatribe six times longer than his 15-minute time limit. In the speech, Qaddafi praised Barack Obama as "a son of Africa" who provided a "glimpse in the darkness after four or eight years." Indeed, "We are content and happy if Obama can stay forever as president of the United States," Qaddafi said, perhaps mistaking the U.S. electoral system for Libya’s dictatorship. Aside from wooing Obama, however, the dictator had few kind words. He proposed renaming the U.N Security Council the "Terror Council" because it concentrates power among its five permanent members and called for investigations to all major wars since the founding of the United Nations. Qaddafi also suggested that the H1N1 swine flu virus may have stemmed from a military bioweapons project gone awry, according to the New York Times.
So does that make him a birther?
Both are boring, both are useless, and both have long out lived their fifteen minutes of fame.
And both of them inspire stupid people to violence.
