Al Franken goes to Baghdad

Nice one, Al:

Franken discussed his USO tour with CNN's Paula Zahn. ZAHN:
Let's tell our audience a little bit about what you had the pleasure of
doing. You've lighted Hanukkah candles in one of Saddam's palaces. Is
that something you thought you'd be doing someday when you were growing
up? FRANKEN: No. Oddly enough, no. The second night of Hanukkah, we
were in Baghdad -- oh, there's a picture of it, great. ZAHN: That's
you. FRANKEN: That's my brother with me. And we were in one of Saddam's
palaces in Baghdad. And lit the Hanukkah candles. ... He has in one of
his palaces, he has a big -- I think it's in a palace or it might be a
central command center -- has a big mural of Scud [missiles] going and
destroying Israel. So I thought this would be fun.
