Gadhafi a fan of plastic surgery, hamburgers
Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, who has been in power longer than almost anyone in the history of Earth, wants to look good for the people he’s tormenting.
Unlike his patient, Dr. Fabio Naccache (left) only has blood on his hands during surgery.
The Associated Press reports the dictator, who has been stuck at the military rank of colonel for 42 years, had belly fat injected into his face to give him the appearance of a youthful despot, say a ’20s Stalin or ’50s Castro.
In 1995, a Brazilian plastic surgeon received an envelope stuffed full of cash before stuffing Gadhafi’s drooping face with fat extracted from his stomach.
Gadhafi, now 68, would only allow the surgeon to use local anesthesia for the four-hour procedure so that he could remain alert, the article says. During the operation, Moammar, who also got hair plugs, stopped to eat a hamburger.

People all over the world has killed thousands if not hundreds of thousands of innocent people. Let’s not forget during slavery & after the freeing of the slaves, lynching of people of color & those that gave their lives trying to right a wrong by law enforcement, politicians, pastors of churches, etc. So the evils of the earth are not in just one country, but has spread like wildfire all over God’s world. Greed is the reason for so much evil & killings in the world. Why can’t people, live & let live & let’s make this world a better place for our children & grandchildren. No one is better than the other & everyone needs to be treated fairly unless they are an evil prerson, they only deserve what they have done & are doing to others. So to all the evils of this earth, regardless of race, color, creed, ethnicity, sex, etc., the evils you leave on this earth will be a thousand times worst for your children & grandchilden. Hmmmmm something to think about.

“…the dictator, who has been stuck at the military rank of colonel for 42 years,…”
Does that mean he still has to call a Libyan general “sir”? The guy is in charge of the whole country, I’d a thought he would have promoted himself by now.

Who frickin cares if Qaddafi has had plastic surgery? This is typical American media trying to use propaganda to make him look bad. If he looks bad, let it be on his own merits, not something stupid like plastic surgery and hair plugs. I bet no president of the U.S. has ever had that, because the U.S. is good and pure and only dictators get that done. By the way we supported Mubarak in Egypt for 30 years, even though he was a dictator and imprisoned any dissenters and this wasn’t club med prison like Madoff gets. I guess the U.S. gets to pick which dictators we like and which we can slander. Mubarak must have been a stooge to the U.S. and that’s why he got a pass as a dictator. Qadaffi must not be a U.S. stooge.

Hey Joe: It is scalpel not scapula. A scapula is a religious image usually on wool or cotton, hung around the neck by a connecting string. Scapula refers to the shoulder bones. Yes, I know, “whatever.” Research on line takes such a small amount of time. And goes a long way to helping you look literate.
