I am so sick of the wall-to-wall media coverage of this bastard that I could hurl. Why doesn't someone figure out that nobody gives a damn what his major health problems are except for thugs, terrorists, and Frenchmen?
Can you imagine the sickening retrospectives that will be fed into our living rooms by the media when he finally breathes his last?
It will be hard to watch as everyone from Jimmy Carter, to members of the congress, to Jacques Chirac rush to canonize the murdering s.o.b.
I would much prefer to watch shots of Israelis dancing in the streets, burning Palestinian flags and effigies of Arafat in celebration. It would not be out of bounds if Sharon were to declare the anniversary of Arafat's ultimate decent into hell as an Israeli National Holiday.
Just my two-cents worth.
All I can say is: It couldn't have happened to a "nicer" Guy.....//sarcasm
This morning Mike Gallagher mentioned this thread on his national radio show. He was talking with mayor Weingarten (sic?) about how Arafat is scum and brought up FreeRepublic and this thread (or the other one which is identical).
