NY town orders stop to Gaddafi tent on Trump land Tue Sep 22, 2009 7:03pm EDT

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi was having a tent pitched on property owned by Donald Trump in suburban New York on Tuesday until local officials stopped the work because it violated regulations, a town attorney said.
Workers were erecting a tent and satellites on property in Bedford, New York, that belongs to the famed real estate developer Trump, said Bedford town attorney Joel Sachs.
A famously eccentric figure, Gaddafi is known for pitching a large Bedouin tent on his trips abroad. He was scheduled to attend the U.N. General Assembly this week.
Gaddafi last month had plans to erect a tent in suburban New Jersey, where the Libyan embassy owns property, but the U.S. government said he could not use the land for that purpose. A request to set up his tent in New York's Central Park also was turned down.
A building inspector for Bedford tried to deliver a "stop work" order to workers at the scene but they did not speak English, so he gave the order to a property caretaker, Sachs said. It was unclear whether the work had stopped, Sachs said.
The roof of a tent and ropes were visible from behind a stone wall in a photograph published on Tuesday by the website of the local newspaper Journal News.

Donald Trump let him pitch his tent there?
Just for old time’s sake, give the tent a FB-111 fly-by.
And wheresoever the Muslim foot had trod, shall be known as Muslim land forevermore.
It is written, I’m just not sure where.
Send him to Motel 6. They’ll leave the light on for him.
Aha....ha....ha....haaaa.
I personally think regulations like this on private property are bull....pucky....but I can’t stop laughing...
Welcome to America Gadaffi...most free country on Earth!
Except for your tent...you can’t put that up here.
ahaaahaa....haha....
They said "Pitch a Tent"...
He can pitch one in the Mojave desert.
Gaddafi should bring his down sleeping bag. Sleeping in a tent in New York is not the same as sleeping in a tent in Tripoli.
Let Hildabeast pitch her tent for him.
Gaddafi should have no trouble in getting a temporary permit to build his tent in this NYC location.
What, they couldn't locate an INS (USCIS) interpreter to help out?
if only.................they are all retired in Arizona.
“The Donald” has always been an idiot and a shyster. Just one more display of the “Room For Rent” sign that’s under his hairpiece or combover or whatever the fool has on top of his empty head.
On the otherhand,
Imagine the outcry from international media, AFP, AP, along with condemnation from Key Moon Bat at the UN, if Bill Clinton set up a whore house in Saudi Arabi right next to the rock god temple in Mecca.
That would be the day you'd see American politicians insisting their cultural and religious rights be respected and accommodated. Instead, they toss on burka's and make fools of themselves, not knowing that Burka's are degrading symbols of how women are nothing but property of Muslim males who are not to speak unless spoken to, and satify every wim of their owners without question.
What country we've become.
Aussies are still flying them ... retiring them next year.
If he likes tents i’m sure Sheriff Arpaio out there in Arizona would love to put him up for a while....
LLS
...maybe Donald’s smarter than everyone thinks (:
I’m curious how it was plumbed. I believe crapping on the grass is strictly prohibited in most places.
