Arafat's miserable legacy
2004-11-16

#7  Arafat called in a soothsayer before he died. He asked her if he was going to die. She said: "Yes you are going to die on a Jewish holiday." Arafat said: "which one?" She said any day you die will be a Jewish holiday.

#6  "Fallen leader?" As if the scumbag fell in battle for some noble cause. And "the unbowed Palestinian people?" What does she think happens when they press their foreheads to the mosque carpets with their asses in the air?

#5  "This is a requiem for Nobel Peace Prize winner Yasser Arafat, the fallen leader of the benighted but unbowed Palestinian people."

Thus begins a column by that old hag Helen Thomas. She goes on and on, and never once calls Arafat a terrorist, murderer or evil. Go read the whole thing, if you can stomach it. And note that at the end of the column Helen's e-mail address is provided: helent@hearstdc.com

She's probably got a lot time on her hands these days because the White House is sick of her. Why not drop her a line and tell her what you think?

#3  I have a cartpath that ends in a swamp. I think I'll call it Arafat Boulevard.

#2  Except that much, maybe most, of the world is as sick.

E.G., the UN flew its flag at half mast, the French are going to name streets after Yassir.

#1  only a society as sick as the Paleos could praise Arafat as the abusive father of the nation
