Bon Jour, Mrs. Arafat

2004-01-23
Jean-Claude Gaudin, Mayor of the French city of Marseilles recently disclosed that Palestinian First Lady Suha Arafat received French citizenship.
Somehow, that figures.

#6  Great! Does this mean she can start working welfare scams now?

#5  That would be the ticket. Drag Arafat into the ICC and let him spend a couple of years ranting and raging a la Slobodo.

Then he could run for Chirac's job.

#4  And evidently Arafish himself is now eligible for a French passport.

Hypothetical question: If Arafart does blow town for Paris, what are the odds that someone will try to bring his ugly ass before the ICC?

#2  Sounds like the Arafats are getting ready to blow town and take shelter. The French protected Khomeini for years; do you think they'll take in Arafat?
