Hannibal gives Gaddafi a bad name
Times
From Charles Bremner in Paris



FRANCE complained to Libya yesterday after Colonel Gaddafi’s son, Hannibal, allegedly beat up a woman in a Paris hotel, scuffled with police, brandished a gun and falsely claimed diplomatic immunity.

The Foreign Ministry issued a statement deploring the incident after the main police officers’ union expressed anger at the way in which the 29-year-old youngest son of Colonel Gaddafi had twice made fools of them through his claim to immunity in the past six months.

“We are letting the Libyan authorities know about our unhappiness over these repeated incidents, caused by M Hannibal Gaddafi,” said the ministry. “M Gaddafi does not benefit from diplomatic immunity.”

Last September, M Gaddafi, who attends a business school in Copenhagen, was released on the spot by police, who had pursued him as he allegedly drove his black Porsche at 90mph through red lights on the wrong side of the Champs Elysées while drunk.

3. Have you ever seen pictures of his father's
all female camo-clad, gun wielding bodyguards? He used to take them everywhere. Quite a sight.

4. I don't know ...
To me, it sounds like some American NFL, NBA, or MBA sports star, or country music, rap, or rock star, and a slew of American actors.

5. They have a different kind of diplomatic immunity
Celebrity immunity, but it usually works just about as well.

6. Yet another reason for freepers to hate France.
They arrested Bush's best friend's (Gaddafi's) son.

Freepers take it hard when politically connected spoiled rich brats get into trouble.
