#6 It would be interesting to see what the reaction to the rumor would be. Who started it? Us or Tater?

#8 How about the photo where Sadr points to his forehead and says, "Insert bullet here."

#10 Problem is, Mookie's not too bright; whoever might inherit his position can't help but be brighter. Sorta like with Zarkawi.

#11 48 hrs... I know...

Unclear as the parties involved, but the article implies the deed was done by a civil warrior (or waree or multiples of them thereof) of possible sunni adherence, notice the cities named, all sunni strongholds.

WWTTD? [what would tater tots do]

The pic vote: "Fat lady sings" and some appropriate segment from Hieronymus Bosch's - The Garden of Earthly Delights

#12 Long overdue (if true).

#13 Can only hope it's true, though I highly doubt it. AP would be shilling we killed a "politician" if he was dead I think.

#18 Nothing on LGF or InstaDaddy, either. Sent the link to GR to see if he'd heard anything about it...

#19 Not a moment too soon, either.

whoever might inherit his position can't help but be brighter

No one else will have Sadr's credentials, which he inherited from his father. Anyway you cut it, his death will be huge good news.

#23 We can hope that there are two successors and they fight it out, killing some 90% of the Tots.
