#1 There's probably a lot of State employees wondering what's going to happen to their 'Saudi 401K' plans.

#3 "...Known to be in poor health..."

Among other things he has bad rheumatoid problems. I know this because a doctor I know has treated him for this.

#4 Being out of the country when the Kink "stabilizes" is not gonna do Bandar any good. You snooze, you lose.

#5 And rheumatoid arthritis is greatly exacerbated by stress. It kept a beloved grandmother of mine bedridded for the last few years of her life when I was a small kid. Not a fun disease to deal with.

#8 Ah, but the Society pages will never be the same. Prince Bandar's got a sweet little spread on the Virginia shore of the Potomac...I wonder if the new guy gets it or has to forage for his own.

#10 I assumed his illness was a matter of convenience.

AMERICA: Ambassador, why isn't the kingdom doing more to lower oil prices and round up terrorists.

BANDAR: Um, I, ah, Cough, cough. Gotta go. Not feeling well.
