Saddam-lite-style

adj. A new flavor of Doritos?

Real citation: "This must be some new meaning of "nascent democracies" that I hadn't previously been familiar with. One of those 'nascent democracies' is mostly run by warlords, and produces 75% of the world's opium supply. The other is nominally run by a Saddam-lite-style strongman (see DeLong's post entitled *SIGH*) but effective control of much of the land resides in local militias, and many of those localities are essentially Islamic dictatorships."

Made-up citation: "A Saddam-lite-style mustache and cavernous ass cleavage are very in this year, very now."
