Gadaffi in less bohemian salad & tent days!
As soon as known-terrorist - Mohammed Gadaffi - touched down on these shores the controversies began to rear their ugly head!
For starters, a failed attempt to pitch a tent in Central Park, forced the defiant rebel to seek refuge beyond the fringe of the inviting NYC cityscape.
Unfortunately, for the tony town of Bedford, the ego-maniac from Libya set his bizarre sights on a country acre or two owned by high-profile financier Donald Trump just short of the outer reaches of the wilderness.
Consequently, night-before-last, Gadaffi's handlers were hoisting a large canvas structure on the rustic estate, with the specific intent of securing shelter from the impending storm.
Not so fast, bozo!
The neighbors in the upscale community - Martha Stewart, for one - must have been screaming bloody-murder.
Because, on the heels of the militant's arrival, city officials were inclined to pay the foreign entourage a visit - and in the process - give 'em a tongue-lashing or two.
On one talk show a fuming resident lamented that Gaddafi and his outlaws didn't play by the rules.
"They trespassed on my property. Cut down trees." he angrily snorted on 360 (CNN).
After further questioning from TV cutie - Anderson Cooper - a spokesperson for the city wisely noted the town of Bedford (and its residents) had two options they could pursue.
The city was within its legal bounds to file a criminal complaint from the get-go because the builders of the off-beat structure did not abide by applicable rules and regulations set down by the City in recent years.
A permit was not obtained, for instance.
In the alternative, the townsfolk are also legally entitled to file "moving papers" with the Supreme Court, to force an injunction (and hence) put an end to Gadaffi's tent-city lunacy.
Meanwhile, Gadaffi continued to make waves early today when he arrived at the United Nations in downtown Manhattan with a gang of thugs in tow.
Protestors interrupted the normally easy-going gathering - and caused many to speculate in the wee hours of the bid for peace - it it was going to be tough-going the rest of the unpredictable day.
You betcha!
As luck would have it, Gadaffi was slated to speak second-up on the agenda, on the heels of the President's well-received appearance at the mic a scant few moments earlier.
To prevent any altercations - or unpleasant moments in the event the two crossed paths by accident - there was a lot of behind-the-scenes maneuvering on the part of intense Washington handlers to manipulate the proceedings to their political advantage.
For example, normally the speaker "next up" to the podium is queued-up and at-the-ready to stride forward, to ensure there are no delays or glitches.
On this instant occasion, it was not until after President Obama exited, that Gadaffi was allowed access to the floor of the United Nations asssembly.
The delay was so obvious - that a handful of politicians wondered aloud if Gaddafi (last minute) was being physically-prevented from basking in the glow of his much-anticipated moment in view of the loud protests.
But, eventually, he strode confidently to the platform and commenced with his speech.
Actually, it was more of a rambling rant about the preamble to the United Nations charter, punctuated by a jab or two at a couple of Super Power Nations he accused of hi-jacking prestigious UN Benefits to their own advantage at the exclusion of others.
For the most part, he sounded like a madman.
As to his illegal immigrant status near Martha's vineyard (!), well, I say send in ICE.
In short order, he'll learn a valuable lesson about what happens when 'ya mess with Homeland Security!
Gadaffi roughs it in tony Bedford!
