Guysen Israel News is running an unconfirmed report that Yasser Arafat has kicked the bucket!

[cardinal4]

If not, Israel should just go ahead and kill him anyway. You know "the arab street" will put the full blame Israel and America no matter which way he checks out.

Remember the Jenin Massacre? That whole thing was typical of the PA and its French backers..

I dont think they wouldnt stoop low enough to blame his demise on Israel or even the US..

The chicken's is too! Maybe I should take lessons...

[anguish]

Thought that he'd been dead for quite some time (judging by his looks).

This is bad news for the cable news networks.

If true, will interfere with the devoted Kobe coverage tomorrow.

The Cali election was set up to occupy their airwaves pre-Kobe. Tiger and bear stories to shore up those uninterested in the election. A war in Syria could screw up months of Kobe and Scott Peterson roundtables.

I think I'll order out...

Reminds me of the joke I saw on FR last week:

Yasser Arafat, not feeling well and concerned about his mortality, goes to consult a psychic about the date of his death. Closing her eyes and silently reaching into the realm of the future she finds the answer: "You will die on a Jewish holiday." "Which one?'" Arafat asks nervously. "It doesn't matter," answers the psychic. "Whatever day you die, it'll be a Jewish holiday."

If true...

We might as well get a cool explosion out of it for our troubles, IMHO. :p

visa vis Bin Laden

BINGO!

Although his body may have been alive (or may still be alive), his soul has been dead for quite some time. Same with the Clintons...

[Tijeras_Slim]

Yep. That's a good one.

[OldFriend]

Can some creative freeper show Dubya doing a little dance!

[alisasny]

If this is true I will donate tonight!

[goodnesswins]

Is there really a SANTA CLAUS???????

[mewzilla]

Not to worry. I doubt there'll be a hearing. Then the news nets (except for FOX) can have a endless pity party for Tubby.

(third-hand report)

Maybe the first two hands are busy strangling the sonofab*tch.

I hope so.

When I posted there were only four other posts. It took me about 10 seconds, but this one filled up fast.

"Lead poisoning?" in response to #1 would be kinda of witty, after #7 it sounds dorky.
