Apparently Muammar Gaddafi’s a big fan of former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice. While looting the remains of Gaddafi’s home, rebel forces made an interesting discovery. (KCNC)
“Yeah, well not just a few photos. It looks like almost a whole photo album. It's one of the more bizarre findings in the Gaddafi hideout, including pictures of the two of them together. He told the Arab network Al-Jazeera, he loved the former secretary of state very much back in 2007.”
Was he serious? A writer for the Daily Mail expanded on the story saying that Gaddafi has been an admirer for a long time...and not a secret one. He even gave her a nickname. They quoted him saying...
“'I admire and am very proud of the way she leans back and gives orders to the Arab leaders. ... Leezza, Leezza, Leezza. ... I love her very much. I admire her, and I'm proud of her, because she's a black woman of African origin.'”
A stash of Condoleezza Rice photos is pretty unique, but that wasn’t the only bizarre item found in Gaddafi’s home. Fox News compared Gaddafi’s compound to the King of Pop’s.
“But also they found that this sort of compound was part pentagon, part prison, part country club, part fairground, really all of those things. Take a look at some of the pictures. Fairground rides Quaddafi had had built in there, he’d also created his own zoo possibly for his kids, possibly for his own amusement--shades of Michael Jackson’s Neverland.”
Weirded out? So is the former secretary of state -- who isn’t exactly returning the love. (USAToday)
“A State Department spokeswoman says she was not aware of the photo album but notes that Gadhafi's behavior can often be described as ‘bizarre and creepy.’”
