On this show, a person’s score is bound to be high when their image is what an entire generation of people think of when they hear the phrase, “bad guy”. Saddam Hussein cemented his status in history as one of these bag guys, with his ruthless dictatorship of Iraq, including the murder and torture of many of his own people. He made the mortal mistake of pushing the limit one too many times, and was one of the first public executions the world was able to view in a long time. How high on the scale will Saddam land? Were his kids even worse than him? Was he able to catch any royalties off that bad guy image along the way? Check out all this and more the in Saddam Hussein episode of AHC Podcast.
