Arafat Merely "Sleeping," Claims Senior Aide

Look, we're all desperately trying to avoid the rather obvious "pining for the fjords" dead-parrot jokes.

You guys are going to have to do your part, too. Telling us he's "just resting," perhaps after a prolonged shag, makes our jobs all the more difficult.

Final Destination Update! Arafat to be pronounced dead?

Finally?

This guy's having a longer death sequence than The Shape from Halloween.

He's got a bigger bodycount, too.

Bush Not Exactly Weeping Update: Announces with a kind of winning lack of tact that Arafat's death could be a good thing.

Well, he said his death could re-start the peace process. Close enough.

As in dirt nap?

Yeah,I'm goofing off too much today.

This is an ex-terrorist!

If you hadn't nailed his feet to the sick-bed he'd be pushing up the daisies!

Posted by: ace on November 10, 2004 07:50 PM

Sorry, Ace, but when you mentioned that sketch, I just couldn't resist.

I'll try to think up an elaborate joke wherin the PA are a bunch of little kids and Arafat is the family dog. Something along the lines of:

"Hey kids, it's okay...don't cry. Arafat's only sleeping. Now, your mom and I are going to take him to Doggie Island, where he'll wake up, a-and he'll get steak for every meal, and chase kitty-cats, and there's absolutely no Jews!"

Posted by: Sean M. on November 10, 2004 07:52 PM

No, honey, the Arafish is just sleeping."

"Look over there, a pony!"

*ker-flush*

Posted by: hobgoblin on November 10, 2004 07:54 PM

Q&O beat you to it by a day. They've already posted a complete parrot-sketch send up:

Posted by: Beck on November 10, 2004 08:29 PM

You made this post just to encourage the kind of comments above. Admit it!

'E's blown the belt bomb, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, e's used 'is last baby wipe and e's busy eatin' white raisins in 'ell!

This is an ex-terrorist!

On a more serious note.

He's probably still alive. If you call having machines keeping your lungs moving and your heart beating 'alive'...

Posted by: Kathy K on November 10, 2004 08:29 PM

I personally love when they say he's in "stable condition". Yeah, you don't get much more "stable" than DEAD...

Oh, and please let the media keep running the "papa smurf" shot of him in the hellicopter- that kills me.

Posted by: Jack Grey on November 10, 2004 08:54 PM

Did anyone else hear the rumor that he is dying of AIDS? Heard that on some XM channel this weekend. That's why they won't say what the diagnosis is.

Posted by: eroc on November 10, 2004 09:20 PM

Obviously the result of a contaminated blood transfusion.

Riiiiiiiight.

Posted by: Alex on November 10, 2004 09:22 PM

Hobgoblin: Where do I send the cleaning bills? I was drinking a milkshake when I read "ker-flush" and now it's spewed all over the walls. Good post.

"Obviously the result of a contaminated blood transfusion"

No, no, no. You've got it all wrong. He's actually Haitian . . .

Posted by: Frank Villon on November 10, 2004 09:29 PM

Actually, I went for the "Bring out your dead!" scene in Holy Grail. Although I certainly can see the appeal of the Dead Parrot sketch.

Posted by: Giacomo on November 10, 2004 10:28 PM

in his best brit accent...........squeakin out from behind all the tubes......."i'm not dead, yet."

Posted by: morigu on November 10, 2004 10:29 PM

they need a good Jewish doctor to come in and clear up all the confusion. Apparently the doctors who are on the case now cannot diagnose rigor mortis.

Posted by: Sid on November 10, 2004 10:29 PM

I understand that they're taking this tack in order to delay the burial until after they've finished shooting a remake of "Weekend at Bernies."

Posted by: Jo on November 10, 2004 10:35 PM

The word "dead" just doesn't have enough nuance for the French doctors.

Posted by: Frank Villon on November 10, 2004 10:38 PM

YES! Yasser Arafat is officially dead. Just reported on Fox News on Greta Van Susteren's show.

HE'S REALLY MOST SINCERELY DEAD!

Posted by: Frank Villon on November 10, 2004 10:56 PM

Just saw it confirmed on CNN Headline News cable channel.

Posted by: Frank Villon on November 10, 2004 11:07 PM

Can't wait for all the patriot trash to start oozing from the MSM. The king is dead. Long live the king. Yada, yada, yada.

Posted by: Ron on November 10, 2004 11:10 PM

Suggested headline about Arafat's now confirmed official death:

Arafat Bought Ara-farm.

Posted by: Frank Villon on November 10, 2004 11:14 PM

East German Officer: Ja. Ja. I see. Let me know if his condition changes.

(hangs up phone, turns to onlookers)

Officer: He's dead.

Posted by: Sean M. on November 10, 2004 11:16 PM

Just another dead terrorist. Several million more like him. Probably wouldn't have made much of a difference - except now the Pals have an internal struggle and Bush just lost his excuse to duck doing anything with the Road Map.

Just that small problem awaits of 2 million Zionist fanatics and 100 million radical Islamist fanatics agreeing who gets the land.

Posted by: Cedarford on November 10, 2004 11:19 PM

Enough, Cederford, just enough. Half of Israel is more fucking liberal than we are. Just go strap on an explosive belt and blow up your mailbox or something.

Posted by: Elric on November 10, 2004 11:37 PM

This cannot be! I am certain, CERTAIN I say, that the noble leader would want his body to be strapped with C-4 and tossed into a crowded cafe. Shit people, he has been supporting this favored method of dying for years. Who the hell is denying him his rightfull place with Allah and the virgins?!?! I bet its that weird wife of his, Teresa, ack, er, ok, thats not right. I call on the noble PLO to PLEASE pack his body with some explosives and lob him into Israel. It's the only honorable way for a Nobel Peace prize winner to go, ya know? /rant off

Posted by: George on November 10, 2004 11:47 PM

Arafat's final resting place: the Knesset cloakroom, where he will be stuffed and used as a coat rack and hat stand.

Posted by: Alex on November 10, 2004 11:58 PM

Elric - Half of Israel is more fucking liberal than we are.

Indeed, that is why I said only 2 million out of a population of 5 million Jews are Zionist fanatics. But those fanatics are every bit as extreme and intolerant as the Radical Islamists. Who whacked Rabin when he talked peace, threatened Barak, a war hero, and who have launched dozens of death threats against Ariel Sharon, of all people - for his effort to withdraw 5,000 Settlers from lands that weren't even part of old Hebrew times...

Posted by: Cedarford on November 11, 2004 12:29 AM

He must be very tired.

Posted by: rdbrewer on November 11, 2004 01:01 AM

If only AridFart wasn't a murdering sack of shit in life, he would now be playing drums in The Choir Invisible...you know, 'cause he looks like Ringo, instead of rotting in Hell. Ok, that was a weak Dead Parrot reference, but it's my favorite line.

And Cedarford, you're starting to wear me out, dude.

Posted by: Dear Johns on November 11, 2004 01:43 AM

Get lost, paleoboy.

Posted by: someone on November 11, 2004 02:56 AM

Who the fuck is paleoboy?

Posted by: Dear Johns on November 11, 2004 03:42 AM

Dear Johns: Cedarford

Posted by: someone on November 11, 2004 04:17 AM

wait a minute....who the fuck calls michael myers "the shape". what kind of disrespectful shit is that. thats like calling elvis "the crotch". and cederford, youre a fucking idiot. israel has every right to wipe every fucking arab nation on the planet off the map, and in my opinion should. zionist fanatics? the fuck is that? is that code word for red state zealots, err i mean, evengelicals?did you learn that one when pat buchanon was giving you a reach around. those death threats and the murder of rabin come from a very real worry that the leaders of israle would rather cede to arab interests than to worry about their own people. let me put it like this, how long do you think bush would live if he was negotiating a deal where al queada would get, lets say, michigan. get the fuck out of here with that biblical moral eqivalency too. when you lose a war of attrition and fail miserably at a desperate land grab, not to mention calculated attmepts at genocide, you pretty much lose any claim to anything in the foreseeable future. israel won every war its been in since its inception. every war, mind you, against more than one backwards arab country at a time. if anything they should be taking more land, not giving any back.

Posted by: on November 11, 2004 05:27 AM

I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV.

Arafool was obviously suffering from an advanced case of AIDS (Allah in da shitter).

Just look at them blistered lips, puckered in a farewell kiss, below the goofiest coonskin cap known to man.

Adios, Arafuck!
Viva, Israel!

Posted by: the capitalist on November 11, 2004 06:04 AM

To the anonymous guy that posted (11/11/0527AM) and proved Zionist fanaticism exists here too......or given the very early time, was posting from Eretz Yishrael...

israel has every right to wipe every fucking arab nation on the planet off the map, and in my opinion should.

Did the Germans have every right to wipe out every Slavic nation because the Slavs occupied the ancient, sacred lands of the Volk for 2,000 years?

if anything they should be taking more land, not giving any back.

Do you feel the same way about the Axis Powers in WWII? If they can took it, it should have remained theirs by right of conquest?

What new conquests do you envision for Greater Israel? Colonies in Syria? Israel from the Nile to the Euphrates? Given Israel is a small country, do you wish the US to be used for the dying & actual bloodletting since Israel is not capable- even though 99% of the US military is barred from ever becoming citizens of Israel on religious grounds?

Posted by: Cedarford on November 11, 2004 01:50 PM

Cedarford,

I don't know what your angle is, and you are definitely wearing me out, but I'll give you kudos for balls-up knowledge of history.

I still don't get the paleoboy reference, though. Maybe it's Hebrew for "Schicklgruber". You seem to be ruffling some ass feathers.

Posted by: Dear Johns on November 11, 2004 04:26 PM

Johns,

it's a nic derived from paleoconservative - aka Pat Buchanan (sp) and the anti-israel wing over at the American Spectator. Might even be ol' Pat hisself, you never know, the way he demands attention and always manages to say things just so well.

Posted by: hobgoblin on November 11, 2004 06:57 PM

Dear Johns - For 40 years, Zionists have spread lies about Israel and attempted to suppress open debate in the US by playing the "Anti-Semite" card. Try it sometime. Transgress the "line" that only 1 foreign country is above any criticism and you too will predictably be called a "Jew-hater".

It used to be that way in Europe and Canada, but as various historical myths have been debunked, Zionists have lost their immunity from criticism. In the US, more people are beginning to understand that the US must be seen by 1.2 billion Muslims as a fair, honest nation if we have a hope of winning the war on Islamic terror. We cannot remain in the pocket of Israel's Right Wing through it's bribery of US politicians if we wish this conflict to end on terms that favor US national security in the next 20 years.

"Paleoboy" refers to a traditional Republican that does not believe in the Neocon's hope of fighting 5 more wars to guarantee the security of Colonists of the West Bank and the investors in Israeli real estate (98% of Americans are forbidden on religious grounds from investing). American wars against Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Jordan? Why?

Of course "Schicklegruber" was your pal Al's family name. As for ruffling ass feathers, get used to it, Zionism's free ride is nearing it's end in the USA as Americans become more educated, liberated from the Zionist media clampdown on the facts. And, holding America's interests foremost - not those of Israel, China, Palestine, Japan, France, or Mexico does not make a person "anti-Israeli, Chinese, Palestinian, Japanese, French, or anti-Hispanic" - it only makes that person concerned with America 1st over any foreign country.

Mexico is not our 51st state. Neither is Israel.

Posted by: Cedarford on November 11, 2004 07:06 PM

I came back to this post specifically because I just saw Buchanan and Kudlow duke it out on Scarborough (sorry, I do check out MSNBC sometimes, although Mathews is banned from my TV).

As a result of that exchange, I thought of this thread and considered my own statement of I don't know what your angle is,... I now think that there is a chance that Cedarford might be Pat Buchanan. I don't mean that to be bad, although if the definition of "paleoboy" is as documented above, that fits.

For a while, I thought maybe you guys were referring to this. But I haven't heard anything that suggests that Cedarford likes dinosaurs. Unless you consider Bill Burkett a dinosaur.

Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.
