Arafat is dead… and the fat lady is singing a song that probably resembles the theme song of “The Apprentice” – you know, “Money money money money, MONEY”
Update: Watching CTV‘s pre-prepared obituary on the 11 o’ clock news. I think I need an aspirin cause the whitewashing is giving me a headache. For some perspective, see the Canadian Jewish News‘s retrospective of the terrorist’s life of failures.
Update #2: CNN has it now. So does Reuters, BBC, Ha’aretz, and Associated Press. Prepare for more sickeningly whitewashed obits.
Update #3: The Suha Arafat soap opera plot sickens. Allison has reports of bribes offered to her to agree to pull the plug on her husband, and the supposed affair that she’s been having with her financial advisor. Israel Insider reports that her boyfriend, Pierre Rizk, was directly implicated in the massacre at the Sabra and Shatilla refugee camps in Lebanon in 1982. You know, the one that Ariel Sharon gets constantly blamed for, even though it was actually carried out by Maronite Phalangists – apparently including Rizk. Something tells me that the details are just starting to emerge on this one.
