Joan Rivers was to rent apartment to Colonel Gaddafi

Comic Joan Rivers claimed she was set to rent her luxury New York apartment to Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi for an upcoming visit to the city.
The comedienne says she was approached by aides about the stay – and was offered more than $200,000-a-week for the $25 million pad.
She said: “The Libyan ambassador called my [broker] and offered over $200,000 a week so he could use it for entertaining. I thought it was great. I said I would give half the rent to Lockerbie.”
Rivers, 76, said she would have given the other half “to have an exterminator come and clean the apartment when he was done”.
She added: “He would have roasted cows in my living room. But my houseman was not happy. He doesn’t know how to cook llama.”
