13. Well, there go any doubts that Hil can put on her 'party smile' and keep it on under adverse

conditions.

[dalaigh lllama]

15. As my daughter would say, "That is pimp tight!"

Not quite sure what that means, but it seems quite applicable here. :rofl:

23. He's Moammar's son. And a complete pig.

The fifth eldest, Hannibal Gaddafi, once worked for General National Maritime Transport Company, a company that specializes in Libyan oil exports. He is most notable for being involved in a series of violent incidents throughout Europe, including charges against him for beating up his then pregnant girlfriend, Alin Skaf. (In September 2004, Hannibal was involved in a police chase in Paris.) On July 15, 2008, Hannibal and his wife were held for two days and charged with assaulting two of their staff in Geneva, Switzerland and then released on bail on July 17. As a result, unless the Swiss government apologizes for the arrest, the government of Libya put a boycott on Swiss imports, reduced flights between Libya and Switzerland, stopped issuing visas to Swiss citizens, recalled diplomats from Bern, and forced all Swiss companies such as ABB and Nestlé to close offices. General National Maritime Transport Company, which owns a large refinery in Switzerland, also halted oil shipments to Switzerland.

[Jackeens]

25. I think that's a different son...

...is this the shiny suit man:

Gaddafi's fourth son, Moatessem-Billah Gaddafi, was a Lieutenant Colonel in the Libyan army. He fled to Egypt after allegedly masterminding an Egyptian backed coup attempt against his father. Gaddafi forgave Moatessem and he returned to Libya where he now holds the post of national security adviser and heads his own unit within the army. Saif Al Islam and Moatessem-Billah are both seen as possible successors to their father.

[rug]

29. Ah, I think you're right. Well, he's sleazy too.

[Jackeens]

30. I agree - that suit is a crime against humanity!

It's kind of wacky, though, that his father forgave him for "masterminding an Egyptian backed coup attempt against him"..... jeez, that's taking 'blood's thicker than water' a bit too far in my book.

:shrug:

[Sensitivity]

74. Mutassim is the 4th sun. Hannibal is the 5th. Rather malicious to confuse the two

[jefferson_dem]

24. Shit. I just posted a lonely pic of Secretary Clinton with this Borat-ish character.

Should've known Jackeens would come through with another terrific photo album thread. Thanks!

:kick:

[Jackeens]

28. Hey jefferson_dem, these pics could never be posted enough!!

:toast:

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

26. Looks like Rudy and Fat Albert.

[Ikonoklast]

27. "Klaatu, Barada Nikto."

Shiny.

[BlooInBloo]

32. BWAHAHAAAHAAAA!!!

[PopSixSquish]

33. Do Not Adjust Your Computer Screens Folks

Seriously what is that suit made out of?

[MADem]

37. Doesn't it look like the inside LINER of a suit?

Sonny looks like Daddy did, when Daddy was younger and less dessicated. He's a bit slimmer and taller than Paw ever was, but there's a definite resemblance.

[americanstranger]

34. Holy Crap, it's Balki Bartokomous!

"Get out of the city!" :rofl:

- AS

[kestrel91316]

36. Somebody please tell me that's not taffeta.

[MADem]

38. I thought it looked like the stuff that lines your jacket! nt

[kestrel91316]

39. It's not quite shiny enough for satin, believe it or not. I vote for silk taffeta.

I'm just surprised he doesn't have his shirt half unbuttoned and a big fat gold chain around his neck, tangled in the chest hair.

[muntrv]

40. Hey, it's Tony Manero!

[sarge43]

41. How to win a Duzzy without posting on DU.

With matching tie to boot.

[Historic NY]

43. "Somebody teach him how to tie a Windsor Knot"!

[TankLV]

70. I think you meant a "Windex" knot...

[Cass]

44. These pics are a testament to Hill's awesome diplomatic skills...

that she is able to just smile and shake hands nonchalantly like there isn't a shiny man towering over her is proof that she is a jedi-master of diplomacy.

She looks so cute in pic 2.

I feel bad for that dude - looks like he wanted to dress to the nines for his meeting with Hillary and he missed the mark. :evilfrown:

[jillan]

45. Wow - How did she meet with him without wearing her sunglasses?

That is one shiny dude.

[Patsy Stone]

46. He looks exactly like his father

Was there even another set of genes involved here? In addition to that face, he clearly inherited his dad's snazzy fashion sense. But, what? No hat?

[vaberella]

48. Talk about Charlie and the Chocolate factor....he's a perfect Willy Wonka.

Where do you get a chocolate suit?

[Raven]

49. His tie isn't straight? Is that what you're all laughing about? :-)

[Politicalboi]

50. He might be a relative of the Tin Man

[Hippo_Tron]

51. The suit fits very well, the material is fucking ridiculous

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

52. Looks like you could do a slip and slide on that suit. Yikes!

[AtomicKitten]

53. I heard she tried to tackle the guy to make that shiny pantsuit here own. n/t

[alcibiades_mystery]

54. Bengali in platforms...he only wants to embrace your culture

And to be your friend forever...

:-)

[jberryhill]

56. I Kiss You!

Who is want to come Libya? I can invitate...

[Jackeens]

57. Whooooooo hooooooooo: five (count 'em!) DUzys for replies to this thread :-)

[Forkboy]

58. What are you talking about? That suit is 100% fashion!

:P

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

59. They need to trade in that chandelier for a disco ball. He's a dancin' man and he just can't lose.

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
I'm a woman's man: no time to talk.
Music loud and women warm, I've been kicked around
Since I was born.
And now it's all right. It's ok.
And you may look the other way.
We can try to understand
The New York Times effect on man.

Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother,
You're stayin alive, stayin alive.
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin',
And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive.

[cooolandrew]

61. Looks pretty cool really nice to see some variety in attire for change. As long as >

everyone is making friends I'm all happy here. :)

[Manifestor_of_Light]

62. Could be some sort of horrible shiny polyester.

Usually silk is that shiny. It doesn't hang right. I'm guessing it's not lined, and the fabric doesn't have enough hand (body) by itself to hang properly without an interfacing and/or lining.

I vote for icky polyester rather than silk.

Can you tell Mom majored in costume design and fashion illustration, and taught me about the finer points of tailoring??? :D

[stillcool]

63. Could it be leather?

and the sheen coming from the camera, or maybe his leather has been buffed?

[TankLV]

71. "pleather"?!!!

[krispos42]

64. Another handy household use for Turtle Wax

I bet he looks positively kaleidoscopic when viewed with polarized sunglasses!

[Beacool]

65. My eyes!!!!! What the heck is that guy wearing?????????

:wow:

What diplomatic skills it must have taken for Hillary not to fall down laughing. She must have also been thinking that she shouldn't have worn those cute ballerina flats on the day that she was meeting Mr. Tall & Shiny.

:rofl:

[Beacool]

66. I prefer this cute pic

[Sultana]

67. WTF is that?

:o

Aye, aye, aye

[ensho]

68. I don't think the suit looks so bad

maybe he will fool you all and be a trend setter

pin stripes and black suits are almost dogma

and you know dogma ain't so good

[TankLV]

69. No more drycleaning!!! Just a wipe and you're done...

[Hepburn]

72. Jezzzzzzzzzz....he looks like he had been dipped in chocolate!

:rofl:

Edit for typo

[TheKentuckian]

73. Whatchu talkin' 'bout?!?

That's one fly ooout-FIT!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[yourguide]

75. I LOVE this...I think he looks like Nick Cave!

Ok, maybe not an appropriate outfit to meet the SOS unless you're a rock star but I love his suit and LOVE these photos!

[Jackeens]

76. ROFL.....you're right!!

:rofl:

[Beacool]

79. Too funny!!!!!!!!!!!

:rofl:

These are the kinds of incidents that make life worth living, never a boring moment. Imagine going to work and having to keep a straight face while pretending this guy is not wearing that abomination?

:7

[SoxFan]

78. He's opening for The Killers this summer

[Sensitivity]

80. The old man had SO MUCH BETTER taste in clothes!

Mutassim would have done better if he had followed his dad and stayed away from the business suit.







Guess Hillary has yet to earn a meeting at that level:

[JI7]

81. HAHAHAHHAH, it looks like she is holding back laughter
