JERUSALEM — Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, the most powerful Israeli leader in 50 years, has died. He was 77.
Sharon was declared dead by physicians at Jerusalem's Hadassah Hospital before 1 p.m. Israeli time [6 a.m. EST], Middle East Newsline reported. Authorities have already been notified of the death, and a government announcement was expected to be issued over the next hour.
Because in the newsrooms they're all quietly saying to one another, "Why doesn't the old Jooo just hurry up and die already so we can stop wasting our time on this and go back to bashing Bush non-stop"? It's like watching them struggle to say nice things about Ronald Reagan in the week between his death and his funeral. "Ghouls" doesn't even begin to descibe the hateful, sub-human creatures that infest the MSM any more.
"She's Bi now."
"Bye now?"
LOL!
He should send Condi to any national service. As a woman, I'm not sure she's eligible for anything beyond that; I'm not clear on Jewish practice in that regard.

Weird little ad on that WT page for caskets on the death report......gheeesh.
I'll lay odds on the MSM blackout of the wild celebrations of joy in the streets of Pali-stan.
Agreed. I certainly wouldnt want to hang on at that point.
My thinking is "official" confirmation will be after the Jewish Sabbath, not before.
I'm almost afraid to ask....what did Pat Roberston say?
There's no point in being impatient. I am not impatient for this man's death...nor should any of us be so.
Sharon's incapacity, let alone his death, creates a vacuum in Israeli politics. I do not believe that Bibi Netanyahu, as much as I admire the man (you have to love someone who made Clinton go crazy), would win the next election.

They are truly despicable.
I'm thinking Sharon is brain dead, he really should be at this point. All that brain surgery and damage done is just to much. So, his family probably wanted to hold off, do more surgery to see if that will help even though it won't. A brain can only handle so much and I think at this point it is to late. Probably later today he will be pronounced dead is my guess.
