WASHINGTON, April 24 (Reuters) - Now that the campaign to topple Saddam Hussein appears to be over, even U.S. President George W. Bush admits he is a fan of the public relations style of former Iraqi information minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf.

“He’s my man, he was great,” Bush enthused in an interview with NBC’s Tom Brokaw on Thursday. “Somebody accused us of hiring him and putting him there. He was a classic.”

Bush said he had made a point of watching Sahaf, as well as scenes such as the toppling of a huge bronze likeness of Saddam Hussein.

“I did watch some of his clips,” he said. “I get a lot of things secondhand, but in the case of the statue or Sahaf, somebody would say, he’s getting ready to speak and I’d pop out of a meeting or turn and watch the TV.”

Hehehe. Isn’t that just great …
