Hang the Bastard

The news that Saddam Hussein has been sentenced to "hang by the neck until dead" brought a rousing chorus of "Hang the Bastard!" from Stone and Parker's Cannibal! The Musical to my lips.

Once I got over that however, I pondered the political implications of such a sentencing only two days before elections.

Veeeery interesting, say I.

Edit: Look who else is pondering: Dan Gillmor
