Libyan leader Muammar Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi has been having a bad week, to put it mildly. He’s held office since 1969, reveling in having an enviable wardrobe and a deadly all-female entourage, and now Libyans have issued a collective cry of “step off”? How’s a dictator to deal? Drink a cup of chamomile tea while swathed in a leopard print Snuggie? Yes. And, after that, there’s always the tried and true tactic of passing the blame along… to Osama bin Laden.

In a phone call to a Libyan television station, Gaddafi said he regretted the recent deaths of so many Libyans while pointing to bin Laden as the people’s real enemy:

“Bin Laden … this is the enemy who is manipulating people,” Gaddafi said, adding: “Do not be swayed by bin Laden.”

He added that it up to the Libyan people to stop fighting among themselves and to cease “taking hallucinogenic drugs.” Can’t go wrong with that advice, we suppose.

Not a bad ploy by Gaddafi. He likely says this hoping that some American talk show hosts will believe him, preying on their fear of Islam, then those hosts will sway their viewers/listeners to question whether Gaddafi’s successor will be a bigger threat to us than Gaddafi himself. It will be interesting to see if anyone takes the bait. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Gaddafi!
