I Can't Keep These Two Straight -- Which One Has Tiger Blood?

I struggled over adding to this week's swirl of media surrounding Charlie Sheen, but I have zero qualms about slinging mud at Moammar al-Gaddafi, outrageous liar, despot and murderer that he is. And while these two men are vastly different people with vastly different demons, somehow, they sounded an awful lot alike to me all week. I'm not sure why this works so well, but it does. At least, it does in my head, but maybe that's because I have no Adonis DNA?

(Photos grabbed from Charlie Sheen interviews with Piers Morgan of CNN, Andrea Canning of ABC, and NBC's Jeff Rossen)

(Entire Gaddafi interview with Jeremy Bowen of the BBC, Christiane Amanpour of ABC, and the Sunday Times of London, found here) 

I personally transcribed all quotes but one (and I can't remember which one) to be sure they were exact. While I've been working on this abstraction for days, I recognize that I'm not the first to draw the parallel between these two delusional public figures this week. For a wry take on this subject, check out this site.

hahahaha I realize now that I was confused. Thanks for that. I was thinking that Charlie had Siamese cat blood, and KaCoffee had some jack russell blood. Now I know!!! You, my friend are nothing short of genius. Love you and let's be blood sisters. Tiger blood sisters!

AS always you never cease to amaze me! Why is it asses get all the attention??
<><

[Daryl]

Amazing ... and in fact these two are like separated at birth morons .. I wonder if Martin knows his wife had twins way back then

[Debbie]

I just pray you have a career that FULLY utilizes your talent. Geez Louise, did you nail this or what? Amazing Woman!!

I like Charlie Gadaffi! Damn you're good.

[Melanie @ Mel, A Dramatic Mommy]

I think both of them are the definition of over the edge!

[foolery]

I think Charlie MEANT to say whatever words accidentally formed on his tongue at warp speed. Mission accomplished. Thanks for reading, Miss K!

[Kyddryn]

Oy vey.

Do they both go to the same styist? And when did their faces start melting off? Is it because of the lights, or is it something endemic to the power-mad??

And Charlie? A warlock is someone who has broken oaths and so has been banished from his or her coven. It is NOT a male witch (who is simply a witch)(don't get me started...) or wizard, and it is NOT an indicator of power or ability. It is NOT a good thing, nor a powerful one. If you're going to use a word, use it right. Unless you MEANT to say you were a lying oath-breaker who was banished from his community...which...umm...well, yeah...

Shade and Sweetwater,
K (who gets a might tetchity over the misuse of language)

CHARDAFI! Love it, Deb -- thanks!

[San Diego Momma]

Too much goodness here for me to comment wittily.
Your posts are like looking directly into the sun. It's a good thing, but like, TOO GOOD.

That sounds like something Chardafi might say...

[foolery]

My favorite part is that they both use Miss Clairol hair coloring, although Charlies got the color about right. Moammar is stuck in his Goth phase.

[Mantel Man]

I'm not sure which of them looks like he's taken more drugs. We'll just have to judge by their words - oh, wait, that doesn't help, either.

[foolery]

Havent seen it yet -- thanks for the tip, Gramps!

[gramps]

Moammar Sheen or is it Charlie Gadaffi?/

Charlie Gadaffi has a ring to it

By the way, "Funny or Die" also had a video compilation of these two

[foolery]

I hate to admit that I dont know who that is, Rick?

[Bob Cleveland]

Tiger's blood? TIGER'S BLOOD?

Mix some of HIS blood in here and the earth would probably fall out of orbit or something.

Yup. Surely wood.

Funny thing, Angus (T.Jones) could be the nephew of either one of these characters.

I truly believe the Earth has been knocked off its axis.
What's next? Tom Cruise declaring himself de facto President?
Mel Gibson joining Hamas?
Sarah Palin starring in her own TV show?
Oh, wait. Hmm....I think I'm gonna start looking for a nice secluded cave to live in until this all blows over.

[annbb]
