Camera started up in the air, panned down to Gaddafi who closed his umbrella and spoke his line. Then it was over.

He appeared to be using the rain to prove he was in Libya.

4. Full text (not much) on BBC live update:

"I am satisfied, because I was speaking in front of the youth in the Green Square tonight, but the rain came praise to God it bears well. I want to clarify for them that I am in Tripoli not in Venezuela. Do not believe these channels they are dogs. Goodbye."

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-12307698

And it sounds as if Glenn Beck is being employed as the spokesman:

Earlier, the new General Committee for Defence said its forces would cleanse Libya of anti-government elements.

A statement described the protesters as "terrorist gangs made up mostly of misguided youths", who had been exploited and fed "hallucinogenic pills" by people following foreign agendas.

10. In fairness, his face *will* melt upon contact with water

In his brief appearance Colonel Gaddafi made the following statement : "What a world. What a world. Who would have thought that a good little people could destroy my beautiful wickedness?"

13. See, what you didn't see, is that he was about to break into Singin' in the rain!

I'm singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feelin'
I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds
So dark up above
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain
I've a smile on my face
I walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
Just singin',
Singin' in the rain

Dancin' in the rain
Dee-ah dee-ah dee-ah
Dee-ah dee-ah dee-ah
I'm happy again!
I'm singin' and dancin' in the rain!

I'm dancin' and singin' in the rain...

Why am I smiling
And why do I sing?
Why does September
Seem sunny as spring?
Why do I get up
Each morning and start?
Happy and head up
With joy in my heart
Why is each new task
A trifle to do?
Because I am living
A life full of you.

That silly guy! He sure likes to thumb his nose at the world, doesn't he!

17. Looks like a parking garage

Totally staged.

One thing is constant - he's nuttier than a fruitcake.
