Unexpected Assessment of the Week

Saddam Hussein's Japanese translator has a few things to tell the world about our favorite doucheface.

• "I think that Saddam Hussein was very much misunderstood," Hirata said, as translated by The Associated Press. "People think that he is tyrannical and rough with no education. But, if you read this book, you will understand how delicate and tender he really is."

The translator went on to say that Saddam was "mesquite and smoky" and "not chewy in the least." Upon follow-up questions, it was discovered that the translator thought Saddam Hussein was his steak from the Outback Steakhouse. When interviewers explained who Saddam was, the Japanese man called Hussein a douchebag and took another bite of his delicious face.
