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.

WOULD TAKE GHADAFI’S DEMISE without a second thought. Put a little English on a cruise missle and drop it on his lousy head.

“Unlike his patient, Dr. Fabio Naccache (left) only has blood on his hands during surgery.”
Hey George, you (or whoever wrote it) really botched this caption. It should be “has blood on his hands only during surgery.” They way its written, it implies Gadhafi has blood somewhere other than his hands during surgery. Third rate.

Gadhafi didn’t get money’s worth from the surgery, as these before and after photos show. http://bit.ly/gRorJy
