He's Got Style

Whatever you want to say about the Libyan strong man, Col. Muammar Gaddafi has got some style on him.

BBC Online reports on the colonel's arrival in Nigeria:

Nigerian officials say Col Gaddafi was accompanied by more than 200 heavily armed Libyan bodyguards.

When security officers refused to allow them to keep their weapons, an argument ensued.... [The] Libyan leader angrily set off on foot, intending to walk some 40km (25 miles) to the capital, before he was persuaded to return to the airport lounge.

The Nigerian Prez just happened to be at the airport and took over negotiations. Things were resolved and the colonel took mobiles to the capital after all. But can you blame the strong man for wanting his trained killer female bodyguards loaded to the teeth in sketchy Nigeria? Who wants some local warlord to put the drop on you and all you've got is your dick in your hand?

Gaffy should've walked to the capital for full style points, in my opinion. I know the Prez talked you down, baby, but it would have been worthy of sculpture, walking on foot to the capital with your guards in tow. Set up tents midway, post guards and feast! C'mon, Colonel. Don't waste a grand gesture of defiance!
