#1 Yeah, and CBS broke into the end of CSI-NY with their breaking news logo. I figured the president got shot, somebody got nuked, etc. No, it was that the Arafish had died and they went into a somber bio of his life. I don't think they mentioned terrorist once. Bastards.

#2 Harold Arlen in 1939, said:

As coroner
I must aver
I thoroughly examined her
And she's not only merely dead
She's really, most sincerely dead!

Coroner's Song

#3 Some say Yasser should have been placed in the box last Thursday around mid-day Paris TIME.

#7 Let the ululating and rejoicing commence and Satan needs to throw another log on the barbie--Yasser needs to toast on both sides real good!
(Missed (most of you) guys since I got lost in the Democrat fever swamps of the election!)

#9 He has been dead for days. They had him on machines to keep it from rotting. Once a deal was done his porker of a wife pulled the plug after she got her cut. This wasn't even very well disguised.

#16 He was to the end a man of many mysteries and paradoxes — terrorist, statesman, autocrat and peacemaker.

Hmm. Yep. And I'm a tall thin short fat idiot genius young white old black man/woman. Shut up. I'm just far too paradoxical and mysterious for most people to understand or judge me.

#17 Steve #1 Talking about spin, according to the CNN website: Israeli Justice Minister Yosef Lapid said that without Arafat "there could have already been peace in the region and a Palestinian state ... The government of Israel will continue with its efforts to reach peace."

They put so much spin on what I heard Lapid actually say on Sky News in his brief statement that I'm still dizzy. Here's the gist of the crucial bits they left out:

"Arafat chose terror, and not just against Israel, but worldwide. He was the godfather of Bin Laden and Al Quaida."

The obvious question arises: why would CNN miss an opportunity to show Israel in a bad light? Why wouldn't they include and emphasize Lapid's anti-Arafat comments on their website?

Oh, silly me, I finally got it. It's because they can't mention the word 'terrorist' - especially in connection with attacks on Israel.

#28 So bye-bye Yasser Arafat guy

#30 I for one look forward to the legendary pomp and circumstance of a Pali funeral. It's been many years since the eye rollers, screechers, whinners, and thieves have marched in the Pali way down nowhere street. A note to the wise, keep a close eye on the ceremonial white Toyota.

#36 Good fucking riddance. That piece of shit has been responsible for so many deaths of innocent people that their shades must have been thick around his head as his breath became short in his final moments, clouding out the leeches waiting for bank a/c numbers that never came. No virgins for him, rather a waiting list of demons, each with their own list of abominations to perform - ad infinitum.

#37 Krutz. He didn't repent before he died. But that's one less terror kingpin in the world and that's good.
