Sheesh. And they said John Kerry flip-flopped.
Now I feel better. I’m not the only one thinking of Monty Python when I hear the news reports.
If only Arafat had the balls to order his own.
The man’s made a career of coming back from irrelevancy… why would a little thing like death stop him?!
I’m amusing myself by imagining that Allah keeps sending him back from heaven and the devil doesn’t want him declaring a palestinian state in hell either.
Yassir Arafat’s dead.
No, no, no, no, He’s outside with Itzak Rabin.
Yassir Arafat’s dead.
No, no, no, no, He’s outside with Itzhak Rabin.
He’ll put a bomb on your plane,
Makes peace agreements that he breaks,
And he never learned to shave,
Yassir Arafat. Yassir Arafat.

We were Leary.
OK, folks, he not merely dead, he’s really most sincerely dead.
Announced in Paris around 10:50 EST.
I’m chortling with grief right now.
Breaking News on CNN.
The Sydney Morning Herald is announcing his death.
They just announced his death on the TV.
“End of an Ara” would’ve been funnier.
Not going to rejoice in any man’s death but Lordy, for this day and every one thereafter, the prospects seem to shine so much brighter. What a contemptable, murderous, ill reasoned bastard he was. And now he’s dead.
Rarely have I felt less empathy for a soul.
The good die young and a coward dies a thousand deaths.
I was beginning to think if was a case of Schrodinger’s Arafat. Is he dead or isn’t he? I guess someone finally opened the box to check.
,afetr them…the good is oft interred with their bones?.
Seriously, could a WORSE character than Arafat emerge to lead the Palestinians?
I’m swure that bad as he was, arafat was not stupid!
What are the chances that the leadership will pass to a real mad dog? :smack:
Yes he’s dead. It was a conspiracy. He’s pining for the fnords.
