Arafat's Bedroom Farce-surreal and bizarre death-scene provides appropriate coda to unworthy life

No, no, NO! There's a lady lawyer, inexplicably a member of the Senate, purported to be the smartest woman in the world, who can go to France, restore Suha's well-deserved billions to her and give her some more kisses as well. I suggest she resign from the Senate and get it done immediately.

I also suggest that the Pali authorities try hard to regain the $$$ and send it back to us taxpayers. Will that happen, one wonders? Get real! We taxpayers are so supremely dumb we even support the UN and that bunch of Ali Baba, Oil-for-Food thieves.

Right you are...Suha and Hillary! have a LOT in common, it seems.

It also makes sense that Jimmy Carter wants to go to this funeral. His laughable Middle East "Peace" payoffs went straight into Arafat's...well, not PIGgy bank...Swiss accounts, so it stands to reason Mister Peanut might want to pick his pockets before he's disposed of.

It is hard to find words adequate to describe the malevolent 40-year long career of the world’s longest reigning terrorist...

Tell it to Andrea Mitchell. When Imus this morning referred to Arafat as a butcher (or words to that effect), Ms. Mitchell begged to disagree.

I saw that too and wondered why he recoiled. Maybe because Arafat has AIDS? Something to consider, I guess.

Leno did a "Weekend at Bernie's Arafat's" bit in his monologue last night. He walked around stage, stiff as a board, "oh look there's Yassir dancing away at a Paris nightclub"... had me busting but I think he stole the bit from a Freeper's photoshop image.

If the numbers die with him, then the Swiss bankers and other bankers worldwide will be rubbing their hands in glee.

Better the bankers have it than the terrorists.

Although, it would be nice if they could put it into a victim's compensations fund.

Maybe because Arafat has AIDS?

That's the speculation, and now that I've personally seen the clip I believe its true. That fat man was *scared*.

[American in Israel]

Anyone have the current numbers?

Not exactly, but I remember $120,000,000 in the first quarter granted as "emergency funds" above and beyond their normal money. Clintoon set up a $100 Million a year fund to purchase "school books". Which is funny for such a tiny bunch of people. There are a lot of ways the Arabs "tap the teat".

[American in Israel]

Better the bankers have it than the terrorists.

I am not so sure, you do not have terrorism without bankers, but you can have bankers without terrorism. One might suspect the more enduring evil is the root of it all.

"Leno did a "Weekend at Bernie's Arafat's" bit in his monologue last night...."

Ohh, I know that had to be a riot! What a perfect way to prtray it. SNL and the mainstream comedians mourned when Clinton and Gore were thrown out, simply because the volume of raw material went so far down, but if they looked hard enough, the upsurdity of the radical left and their ilk is a goldmine for lampooning—in light of this screwball fiasco!

Mrs. A had better look out behind her. Hubby's buddies aren't going to look too kindly on her continuing to dip into "their" money. Her days are numbered too. Accidents do happen, you know, even to the rich and infamous. Ask Princess Di.

[Marysecretary]

That's what I thought, too. Good slow way to go, Mr. Arafat.

[Pagey]

Arafat dies as wretchedly as he lived

I sure hope he did.

[rang1995]

suha kisses Hillary==Hillary knows a good campaign donor when she sees one!!

[Conservative Canuck]

They sit there until someone proves a claim to them.

[rang1995]

Just think of his bedside

[pharmamom]

Rush had it right today, when he described the whole Arafat scene as reminiscent of "Weekend at Bernie's." They might as well be carting his corpse around, pretending that he is still alive, conducting his affairs.

You're right; you couldn't make this stuff up.
