And this just in from the Weekly World News, whose top notch investigative journalists have unearthed this little gem about Saddam's colourful life before taking power. It seems Ronald Reagan was not the first president to boast an acting career before entering politics. Reagan, however, had nothing to be ashamed of (aside from Bedtime for Bonzo) and at least became president of the Screen Actors Guild.

Which is more than I can say for Saddam!!!

Disclaimer: For those of you unfamiliar with WWN, it's a crazy tabloid that makes things up.
