Where do "Oil for Food" shills go when that caper ends?

The witty Steve Grahram's recent post,Scott Ritter Turns Tricks for Bloody Dinars, (subtitle: The REAL Whore of Babylon Squeaks Anew) notes that disgraced former chief UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter has a new gig, which I will let Steve tell you all about.

What was his old gig you ask? I so glad you asked! After he quit inspecting Iraq for weapons he began creating pro-Saddam Cockumentaries! MEMRI reported:


On January 25, 2004, the Iraqi independent daily Al-Mada published a list of approximately 270 individuals and entities who were beneficiaries of Saddam Hussein's oil vouchers. [1] The report evoked reactions from many of those included in the list as well as from the Arab media, among them apologists for Saddam's regime. The fact that so many have opted for silence may give credence to the list's authenticity

[…]

Shaker Al-Khaffaji (7 million barrels) advanced $400,000 to Scott Ritter, former U.N. weapons inspector in Iraq. Ritter produced a documentary purporting to tell the true story of the weapons inspections, which in his telling were corrupted by sinister U.S. manipulation.


Ritter's motto: Will shill for Oil.

Anyway, here's Steve Graham:


Scott's new job, which ought to be prison laundry, is writing for AL JAZEERAH! Think about that for a minute. Scott Ritter, the patriotic Marine. Scott Ritter, who loves his country. He's writing for an outfit even more biased than the crew at 60 Minutes. Not just anti-Republican bias. Anti-AMERICAN bias.

Scott, you asshead, why don't you just buy yourself a dishcloth and a rocket launcher and get it over with?

Here's a quote from one of Scotty's fifth columns:

The highly vaunted US military machine, laurelled and praised for its historic march on Baghdad in March and April of 2003, today finds itself a broken force, on the defensive in a land that it may occupy in part, but does not control.

My God, it's Tokyo Rose with a penis.
