No Virgins for You

Well our ever eloquent President commented on the Moussaoui sentence yesterday: "Zacharias Moussaoui has been sentenced to life in prison, which means he will be spending the rest of his life in jail." Oh really. I had no idea that's what that meant. Naturally Dubya invoked 9/11 about 400 times in his comments regarding the sentence, which btw, I agree with because clearly the nut wanted to die for the glory of Allah and have his carload of Virgins and all that stuff.

Yeah, yeah, so Moussaoui screamed like a Bingo winner when his sentence was handed down and he gets all the press. But Judge Leonie Brinkema had a few choice, truly eloquent words for the convicted. Here's what AP reported:

"Mr. Moussaoui, when this proceeding is over, everyone else in this room will leave to see the sun ... hear the birds ... and they can associate with whomever they want," she said. She went on: "You will spend the rest of your life in a supermax prison. It's absolutely clear who won."

And she said it was proper he will be kept away from outsiders, unable to speak publicly again. "Mr. Moussaoui, you came here to be a martyr in a great big bang of glory," she said, "but to paraphrase the poet T.S. Eliot, instead you will die with a whimper." "You will never get a chance to speak again and that's an appropriate ending."

MEANWHILE BACK IN FRANCE...

The French are saying they might as the US to have Moussaoui serve his sentence over there. Yeah, not gonna happen. And Little Zackie's mom is real upset about that. "Now he is going to die in little doses. He is going to live like a rat in a hole. What for? They are so cruel."

Yeah, aren't we though.
