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.
Arafat's cadaverous hands are shocking. I think some cruel and perverse folks around here hope he does have AIDS. There are many diseases including Leukemia which make what little we've been told. I object to inhumane statements made by some on this topic.
