Op-ed well running a bit dry at the Globe?
By adamg on Mon, 12/29/2008 - 9:00am
Muammar Gaddafi thinks Boston is important enough to pen a Globe op-ed piece about Russia? Or as the Outraged Liberal asks:
... But it would be fascinating to know how this piece wound up in the Globe. No offense, but how many other newspapers rejected it? Who is representing Gaddafi? How much is the author being paid? Couldn't the PR advisor find a Harvard faculty member the same thing while not stirring up the kinds of comment that have already started to register? ...
The best part of his op-ed piece, though, is the tag line:
Muammar Gaddafi, the leader of the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, recently returned from a state visit to the Russian Federation.

It's important to maintain
It's important to maintain tensions with Russia b/c the lifestyles of Russian politicians require a very high price per barrel. A private jet, a private yacht that's almost the world's biggest, a block of real estate in downtown London, a Premier League soccer team - all those things cost a lot of money and $40 just ain't gonna cut it. I say it's time for war in Ukraine!
