Tut-Tut: Did Nat Geo Bribe Egypt's Famed Indiana Jones?

[Mister Da]

There are so many potentially corrupt players here it is hard to tell the good guys from the bad.

[Bigg Red]

The new face of King Tut: Cher?

[Bigg Red]

I agree, but I’ve been in a summary-execution mood all night.

That made me chuckle.

[Bigg Red]

...whatever Hawass’ numerous failings are, any activities of his suggestive of corruption still leave him looking like Mother Teresa compared with gubmint officials in Egypt or anywhere else in the Arab or Moslem world.

Or the Soros Administration.

Slaves had healthcare just as today’s dependents can look to their lord government to throw them a bone now and then IF they don’t try for independence or forget who their master is.

I always figured Hawass kept to the no slaves built the pyramids line as a form of Egyptian political correctness so he could keep his job.

He was an irritating showboat, but he did a good job keeping the antiquities in Egypt and the muzzies away from the antiquities.

The US must appear so silly and naive to the rest of the world. Nobody gives a "bribe" by publicly inking it in a signed contract.

[1010RD]

The MB are so bad for Egypt and anywhere for that matter. How can you not ship antiquities for public display and later return? Egypt desperately needs tourism and tourists or their socialist paradise will really become a hell hole.

[Condor51]

Here's my take on this. If Heinrich Holder's DOJ is going after National Geographic and Dr. Zahi Hawass, they're INNOCENT. And the only reason the DOJ is doing this is that Nat Geo didn't kickback any or enough money to Idi Imin Obama's pockets.

Plus, Idi Amin Obam & his pet monkey Heinrich Holder are going after Dr Hawass because he was anti-Morsi which is unacceptable to the pro-terrorist assh-le in the White House.

[SunkenCiv]

I wholeheartedly agree, with the quibble that Zahi didn’t turn on Morsi immediately, only reflexively after getting fired and accused. This isn’t even Zahi’s first go-round with this kind of thing, he was suspended and replaced by Mubarak’s gov’t and had to fight in court for innocence and reinstatement.
