He's obviously crazy; How can you not like Fruit loops?

So I read this story, which is one of the first in a while that actually made me laugh out loud (CNN usually doesn't produce comedy, unless it's unintended). But for some reason, some genius wrote this article for the AP about an upcoming GQ article on Saddam and his prison fare. Why this is newsworthy is not at first apparent, but allow me to share some nuggets:

"The Bush father, son, no good," Cpl. Jonathan "Paco" Reese, 22, of Millville, Pennsylvania, quoted Saddam as saying.
Saddam was friendly toward his young guards and sometimes offered fatherly advice. When O'Shea told him he was not married, Saddam "started telling me what to do," recalled the soldier. "He was like, 'You gotta find a good woman. Not too smart, not too dumb. Not too old, not too young. One that can cook and clean." Then he smiled, made what O'Shea interpreted as a "spanking" gesture, laughed and went back to doing his laundry in the sink.
For a time his favorite snack was Cheetos, and when that ran out, Saddam would "get grumpy," the story said. One day, guards substituted Doritos corn chips, and Saddam forgot about Cheetos. "He'd eat a family size bag of Doritos in 10 minutes," Dawson said.


I agree with the doritos, but damn, a bag in 10 minutes? And really, who is suprised that saddam would make a "Spanking" gesture in regards to women? Good to see that the most important part of our culture ( junk food) can transend the barriers with our most hated enemies (except fucking fruit loops).
