It’s undoubtedly Bush’s fault…

October 23, 2004 - 7:59 pm - by Roger L Simon

… that Arafat didn’t get his flu shot and has contracted the flu… at least that’s how Tunisian doctors given permission to treat the Chairman by the Israelis have described Arafat’s illness. Debka says it’s more serious matters (gall stones, recurring acute intestinal infection) but implies this is one just one more bump to be exploited by the Grand Terrorist in his seemingly unending quest to ruin the lives of his own people.

    I’ve had gall stones, and they ain’t fun. I only hope Bush had something to do with it! Better than anthrax. You only hope you die.

    I’m holding out for renal failure.

    Ah hell, I shouldn’t wish that on anyone. But if tyhere were anyone who would head my “better dead” list, Arafat would be a candidate.

    I thought he had stomach cancer? Well, whatever the euphemism is this week . . .

    Hussein sitting in prison, Castro falling on his face and now this?

    Add those three to the number of those who arent’ better off today than they were four years ago.

  5. 5. Robert Schwartz

    May his name be blotted out.

    Sally-o, that was hysterical!

    Yeah, tragedies often occur in three’s, don’t they. More importantly, someone should circulate a global email saying the face of Allah is turned away from Arafat, Hussein and their buddy Castro because of their blatant evil towards mankind and as evidenced by Arafat’s illnesses, Hussein’s removal from power and Castro’s fall resulting in a broken ankle.

    It might catch on and get someone thinking that these guys were better off…”blotted out” or, at the least, cursed by God.

    What a hoot.

    The problem is that these are not tragedies. The tragedy is the Arafat and Castro are still alive.

    As for the Allah trick… it just might work for some people, although if they go to the Mosque they will no doubt fed some other nonsense.

    Castro, btw shattered his knee and fractured his hip. He had the corrective surgery without general anesthesia, presumably so he could keep his eyes on the doctors and fearing that otherwise he would never wake up.

    Arafat has been looking sick for a long time. Even tyrants can die of natural causes.

  9. 9. Retread

    Arafat’s flu is something I’d be happy to blame on Bush! But that might give more amunition to the Bush=Hitler crowd. As if they need it.

    If one has a ghoulish sense of humor, one might open a betting pool on which of these three will join Allah first. But that couldn’t apply to anyone here. Cound it?

    Of course it’s America’s fault,you’ve got the money,you’ve got the technology,you could have mounted a syringe on the end of a missile.

  11. 11. Charlie (Colorado)

    Retread, my problem is that I can’t decide which one I’d pick.

    And John, Castro made it clear it was so he could continue working while they did the surgery. Who could seriously imagine that Castro is anything but the universally loved leader of the communist paradise?

  12. Terrye: Even tyrants can die of natural causes.

    Yes, but it’s so much more satisfying the other way.
