But I am still giddy that Yasser Arafat has one foot in the grave and the other in a banana peel. Now it is time for someone to just give him a gentle push:
Yasir Arafat will be flown to Paris and hospitalized in an attempt to cure a mysterious two-week-old ailment that has seriously weakened the 75-year-old Palestinian leader, French and Palestinian officials said here this evening.
Mr. Arafat is scheduled to fly by helicopter early Friday to Amman, Jordan, and then on to Paris, Munib al-Masri, a Palestinian businessman close to Mr. Arafat, said.
Maybe the helicopter will wreck. Although the idea of him slowly wasting away painfully is more appealing to me. Alas, he will comforted to the end by his friends: The French.
At least they are consistent- they never met a dictator they weren’t willing to coddle to the very end.

You’re sick. Seriously. Get some help. It’s people like you that making so many people vote for Democrats.

Don’t worry, the cancer (or whatever it is) and France’s horrendous socialized health care system will both do him in soon enough… but here is something to giggle over in the meantime.

John is sick? I’m sorry, have you ever even heard of Yasser Arafat and his many infamous exploits?
“Get some help.” Get Google.

Anybody not longing for the death of the Arafish must hate the Palestinians.
Nobody has done more to hurt them. Well, except for every other Arab nation. But you have to start somewhere.

Yassar isn’t ill, it’s all a ruse. Fact is he’s horny and this was a way to get his wife, long distant and apart for about four years, to show up.
She is hot, hmm?

Yasser deserves to die – but much earlier than what is for all intents and purposes a natural life span.
But have you put any thought (requires using brain for extened period of time) into who or what replaces him? From all I’ve heard there are hardliners in the wings ready to replace the man. People who don’t think he’s done enough for “Palestine.”
– question from a Democrat.

I’m sorry, I detest Arifat’s actions in the past, but I cannot wish for him to die. Why? Because I value human life (I realize there are many that question the humanity of a man such as him) and I believe that his life and death belongs in the hands of his maker.
The French certainly are consistent, aren’t they!
