Remember Baghdad Bob the Iraqi Information Minister who insisted the US was nowhere near Baghdad, even as the media blared images of the invasion?
I'm not sure what happened to Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf (AKA Baghdad Bob) after the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime, but a recent AP article gives me an idea: Maybe he's signed on with USANA Health Sciences (NASDAQ: USNA) as a company spokesman.
Yesterday, USANA's auditing firm resigned, but the company basically insisted that it did so for no reason. Until recently, USANA has said relatively little regarding private investigator Barry Minkow's allegations of wrongdoing at the company, but that's been changing lately. Spokesman Joseph Poulos (Salt Lake Sam?) has stood up to defend his employer. The results have been, well... He seems about as disconnected from reality as Baghdad Bob was. Take a look at some of his most memorable quotes from the past few days:
"Why would anybody take this guy seriously? What is he an expert on? He isn't a forensic accountant. He just committed one very large crime once."
