Vitrolic hyperbole

Dr M, as he is famously known around these parts, can sometimes be brilliant.

But also, at times, weirdly insane. The Malaysians, in general, have taken the lead from some of the buillshit that spews forth when Dr Mahathir sometimes seems to have his head up his ass. In a speech (where else but the state capitol, KL?), he vented forth such vitrolic hyperbole that the UK Commisioner walked out.

"..... The former prime minister accused British and American pilots of returning to base to celebrate after bombing civilians. "The British and American bomber pilots came, unopposed, safe and cosy in their state of the art aircraft, pressing buttons to drop bombs, to kill and maim. And these murderers, for that is what they are, would go back to celebrate 'mission accomplished'. Who are the terrorists? he people below who were bombed or the bombers? Whose rights have been snatched away?"

Dr Mahathir also turned on Western human rights campaigners, who he said had ignored the plight of the Iraqi people during a decade of sanctions that followed the first Gulf war.

Half a dozen European diplomats joined the British High Commissioner, Bruce Cleghorn, in walking out."

Go on. Continue showing the world how insane you are.
