Someone was on Fox News this morning claiming Arafat is senile - I think that's what was said, I had to take kids to school and didn't hear it all.
Valerie, that was a Republican Congressman from Louisiana who is also an optical surgeon. He was one of several politicians who met with Arafat last autumn. I believe that he said it was his impression that Arafat is showing the symptoms of senile dementia.
I didn't see that on Fox News this morning but Dr John Cooksey, a Republican Congressman from Louisiana, is the one who has been saying that. Cooksey is the same one who got in trouble after 9-11 with the press, with terrorist and the Hate America gang. He said airports ought to engage in profiling, said they should spend more time searching people who put diapers held in place with fanbelts on their heads. LOL. He's trying to unseat Mary Landrieu, the democrat Senator... he has an uphill battle.
Landrieu is not very well liked but she has high statewide name recognition and lots of democrat good will since her father was a popular mayor of New Orleans. In recent months she has tried to appear more moderate and tried to align herself with Senator John Breaux, another democrat but a well liked one. She'll be tough to beat and I doubt that Cooksey will pull it off. That's too bad, she's a mini-Hillary, she just happens to be better at disguising her agenda.
