Is it me or Assad sounds just like Napoleon Dynamites older brother Kip? Kind of has a weird lisp going on.

It’s not just you. Bashar al-Assad’s lipless lisp? Twitter is on it.

Gas attacks in Syria? The U.S. sticking a fork in Assad’s Cheerios? Yes, yes. But like Obama, the Twitterverse has priorities:
Who knew Assad talks like Elmer Fudd?!

THIS RT @tonyrossmcmahon Just watching Assad interviewed by the Sunday Times – tough being a dictator when you sound like Elmer Fudd #syria

Seeing Assad speak English — the guy just gives me the creeps.

Assad is the world's most inadequate tyrant. This interview – complete with elf ears and slight lisp – is surreal.

I know it's not fair to say this but I am a woman and allowed to be irrational at times … : Assad's lisp is a real turn off 😛 #Syria

I bet all the trouble in Syria started after someone pointed out Assad's lisp.

True story:
Bashar al-Assad is Arabic for "lisping giraffe."

But is Assad’s voice a game changer?
HAHAHAHAHA Al Assad has a lisp. This changes everything.
