Charlie Sheen For President Of Libya

As you may have heard, youthful rebels staged a coup and overthrew the regime of Muammar Gaddafi — the only man is human history without an absolute correct spelling of his name — in Libya last night and today. Additionally, with Gaddafi missing, rumors have been swirling that Libya’s thuggish overlord of 40 years may have been killed in the revolt.

Reports the New York Times:

Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi’s grip on power dissolved with astonishing speed on Monday as rebels marched into the capital and arrested two of his sons, while residents raucously celebrated the prospective end of his four-decade-old rule. Colonel Qaddafi’s precise whereabouts remained unknown and news reports said loyalist forces still held pockets of the city, stubbornly resisting the rebel advance.

In the central Green Square, the site of many manufactured rallies in support of Colonel Qaddafi, jubilant Libyans tore down posters of him and stomped on them. The rebel leadership announced that the elite presidential guard protecting the Libyan leader had surrendered and that their forces controlled many parts of the city, but not Colonel Qaddafi’s leadership compound.

The National Transitional Council, the rebel governing body, issued a mass text message saying: “We congratulate the Libyan people for the fall of Muammar Qaddafi and call on the Libyan people to go into the street to protect the public property. Long live free Libya.”

So now that Libya’s in need of a new leader, we here at Uproxx would like to nominate Charlie Sheen for the position. After all, he’s really not doing anything right now, and as he demonstrates in the Funny Or Die “interview” embedded above, he is almost as bizarre and wacky as the man whose place he’d be taking, only much more harmless. Charlie Sheen is, after all, just here for hooker love and cocaine. Long live the Sheen regime — and suck it, Kutcher!
