says it's liver cancer that has spread based on

"...reports that his platelet count is low, when considered with this picture in which he looks jaundiced, his face emaciated, but his belly bulging - all suggest liver failure. He's 75. My money is on cancer with liver metastases."

#7 Shit - that doesn't imply anything even remotely painful enough.

#8 I saw the video and thought that mentally Fatass looked almost childlike. The cut away when he kind of lunged forward, then they repositioned him I was thinking he may be stroking too, in addition to the bad hammus he is having trouble dijesting.

#9 In terms of quality of life, is there much difference between "death" and "Paris" anyway?

#14 Fortunately for you Frank, there is no evidence that redundant postings cause cancer.

#17 Early this morning Christiane Amanpour was at the compound to bid Arafat goodbye, saying the Palestinians would not have gotten this far without him (I'm sure there was no sarcasm intended). I wonder if Chiraq stepped out to Greet him in Paris. Any red carpet?

#20 Monty Python and the Holy Grail;

"Can't you take him?"

"Nah, I can't, 'es not dead yet!"

"I'm not dead yet!"

gives the bloke a groat, bloke goes THUMP!! with big club

"thanks"

It won't be long now. Hopefully he'll last till Tuesday so he'll see GW getting re-elected and then Arafart dies in some considerable pain.

I will then take Wednesday off...

#21 "Tony (UK)," eh?

Naw, couldn't be. Could it?

Just in case it is, welcome to Rantburg, Mr. Prime Minister.

#22 Errr, Mike. Hate to burst your bubble, but I'm not Mr Blair.

Check out my previous posts to Rantburg, where you'll see that the only thing I agree with Mr Blair on is Iraq. He's an unreconstructed Socialist who is busy selling our country out to the EUnuchs, all the while smiling and saying 'look, trust me on this'.

I still maintain that a Conservative PM would have been even more pro-US. But please, let's not talk about the Liberal Democrats - they are opportunistic wankers.
