Keeping up with the Qaddafis
Kim Kardashian may have a nice ass, but otherwise, her and her family are pretty damn boring. People’s time and money would be much better spent on a show about Libya’s number one family – the Qaddafis.
Hannibal - A few months ago, the fifth-eldest son and his wife were charged with assaulting two of their servants in Geneva. The complaint was eventually dropped after the workers were paid off, but Libya has continued to hold a grudge with Switzerland. The relationship is likely to sour further – Tripoli is taking the matter to a tribunal in Geneva. After his father, Hannibal has to be the most exciting of the Qaddafis. No stranger to the headlines, he was once charged with beating down his then pregnant girlfriend, and five years ago he was got a slap on the wrist for driving drunk in the wrong direction on the Champs Elysées. He doesn’t seem like a very pleasant fellow, but he’d make a great TV character.
Saif Al Islam - The heir apparent has the second coolest name in the family, but he hasn’t done anything very special recently. He has been spearheading diplomatic efforts with Switzerland, but his younger brother’s behavior is unlikely to help smooth things over. Often labeled a reformer, one of his most recent accomplishments involved securing his people’s access to information.
Al Saadi - This former footballer is the third-eldest son. He recently flew to Kenya and threw a fit when he was told that despite his relation to the king of kings, he could not he could not hunt at a national reserve that has been protected for over 30 years. The brat of the family?
