Pile o' Cash

Today's headline, "Gaddafi hints he is ready to leave Libya (but 'only if rebel council gives him a pile of cash and promises not to prosecute')" is... hilarious. 

Seriously, what kind of world leader asks for a "pile of cash"?  How important do you need to be to feel that you are actually entitled to a "pile of cash".  And, really, what is a "pile of cash".  Shouldn't he define this more clearly or surely someone will be smart enough to make a small pile of ones and legally call it a "pile of cash". 

"Here is fifty bucks in a pile, Gaddafi.  Now get the hell out." 

Sometimes people just crack me up.
