After struggling to turn Khadafy’s insane ramblings at the UN into English for 75 minutes, the Libyan dictator’s personal interpreter got lost in translation.

At that point, the U.N.’s Arabic section chief, Rasha Ajalyaqeen, took over and translated the final 20 minutes of the speech.

It would be sad if it wasn’t so darn funny.

Exit question (for doctors): from what kind of mental disease does Khadafi suffer?

“North Korea broke the rules, once again, by testing a rocket that could be used for long-range missiles,” Obama said in Prague.MORE
