Congressman Urges Arafat (Dead) and Sharon (in Coma) to Restart Middle East Peace Talks
Algemeiner ^ | May 16, 2012

Congressman Joe Pitts, a republican from Pennsylvania recently told a constituent that former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and former Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat, should try to to “restart a peace process that has collapsed”

Arafat has been deceased since 2004 while Sharon has been in a coma for over 5 years now.

“With the global war against terrorism, it is now incumbent on Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Yasir Arafat to clamp down on Palestinian extremists that have perpetuated violence and to restart a peace process that has collapsed,” Pitts wrote to the father of Ian Rhodewalt in a letter dated April 20th, 2012.

Rhodewalt is a writer for Mondoweiss, which covers Middle East affairs as well as Israeli-Palestinian related issues.

“Apparently, my congressman believes that the solution for peace in the Middle East will be reached by encouraging negotiations between a vegetable and a dead man,” Rhodewalt wrote earlier this week.

Arafat’s not dead enough. They should dig him up and put a few rounds in him.

Reminds me of the one who thought too many people on Guam would cause it to “tip over and capsize”.

Reminds me of the literary agent that thought Barack Obama was born in Kenya.

This where we say, “bless his soul” and move quietly on.

That quote is from the movie, “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.” It was said by Charles Durning, who was the Governor of Texas in the movie.

Methinks it’s time for Congressman Pitts to have a chat with his neurologist.
