Bonus points to LGF for misusing the phrase "crocodile tears" (Unless, of course, he meant to compliment Jacque Chirac, which I rather doubt.?)

ReplyDeleteThe thing is, it's really hard to come up with something tasteful about death.
Even for Arafat.
Sounds like a nice contest though:
Best Snarky Title for Arafat's Passing.
Two possible snarky comments:
ReplyDelete1. There was many a dry eye when Arafat died. (Derived from one of R.A. Lafferty's Camiroi stories.)
2. Afarat's passing leaves a much-needed gap in the Mideast. (I don't recall the origin of the phrase.)
