Bowling With Saddam

Possibly the strangest part of The Big Lebowski was the scene where Saddam Hussein gives out bowling shoes. With this in mind, I took an already existing card of Saddam, from the Topps Desert Storm set, and inserted "movie Saddam" into the card.

He may have invaded Canada on television, but here in the movies, he is reduced to a bowling alley employee. Maybe this was punishment for turning into a liquid Terminator and melding with a dog in another movie.

In more recent news, it has come to light that Saddam Hussein was forced to watch South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut over and over by U.S. Marines. I wonder which depiction Saddam preferred: bowling alley employee, gay lover of Satan, or a half man/half dog halfwit with an effeminate lisp. Anyone got a Ouija board?

If I'm not mistaken, I think Saddam here was also the soup nazi.

Cool card.

Actually, the Soup Nazi was played by actor Larry Thomas. Jerry Haleva, who played Saddam here, also played Saddam in the Hot Shots! movies, where he played the dictator with an effeminate lisp.
