Deep Analysis
From a commentator "caspera" on this Ace of Spades blog entry talking about the above picture.
Even more compelling than the "white flag" is the child molester smile on Nazrallah's huge creepy face in the background. Check out his eyes. There's some good crazy there.
Even the cute Lebanese chicks carry around pictures of that guy, but let's face it. Nazrallah is uncool. He looks like a cross between Jerry Falwell and Ed McMahon with a turban and a beard.
I can understand enthusiasm for Che and sticking his face on stuff because when Che was young he was lean and good looking and advocated a revolutionary doctrine that had some intellectual appeal. Orianna Falacci who hated Khomeni had to grant that he was charismatic and was a "handsome man." What does that fat fuck Nazrallah have going for him? How can anyone possibly like him? He's a corpulent, hirsute, sweaty, presumably smelly, and menacingly avuncular creep and this is who they chose as the public face of their "revolution" and they disfigure their fair cities by hanging huge banners of his repellent face from every building.
And consider this. The Lebanese are the hippest, most modern, and most promising Arabs in that part of the Middle East. That's depressing.
Well...yes.
(And he's totally right about the Falwell/McMahon thing. Yikes!)
