He's the money man in Washington.
But that doesn't stop THE WASHINGTON POST from making fun of him while
reporting about him. And there are many among the Middle East crowd, including
many who work for him, who loathe this Prince, his money bags, and his
Aspen home with 26 bathrooms!
"...MONEY FROM A TOTALITARIAN KINGDOM
THAT STONES ADULTERERS TO DEATH AND
BEHEADS RELIGIOUS HERETICS?"
THE URBAN LEAGUE,
a grouping of Black Americans who want to act as much as possible like
White Americans, recently awarded Saudi Ambassador Prince Bandar Bin Sultan
it's first Ron Brown Award (named after the former Clinton Secretary of
Commerce who died in a plane crash in Bosnia). To earn his award the jolly
conniving Prince gave a measles $110,000 in oil money that props up his
family's "client regime" to the League. Then the League, dutifully
now hired by the Saudis like some classy call-girl, made all the arrangements
for 50 Saudi kids to go for computer training (taking their substantial
cut of course).
"THESE ARE THE BLACK BANKERS AND GOVERNMENT HIGH-RANKERS,
THE FUND-RAISING GLIDERS AND
CORPORATE STRIDERS, PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT
FORSAKEN THE DIGNITIES OF DRESS AND PERSONAL
CARRIAGE, AN EXAMPLE FOR US ALL IN THE EASE OF
THEIR CONSERVATISM... THE URBAN LEAGUE IS ALL
BUSINESS, THE PROTESTANT WORK ETHIC, PURITAN
BLACK WITH THE OCCASIONAL SPLASH OF SEQUINS."
"I let no monkey
stop this show," Urban League President Maudine Cooper told the POST.
"Prince Bandar is setting an example of community involvement for
the diplomatic community. We encourage others to follow."
It must have been a proverbial
slip of the tongue by Cooper. Or could it be that she too has heard some
of the monkey jokes Arab students pass around about Bandar. It seems that
in the Urdu language Bandar actually means monkey.
Washington is corruption
central these days -- nearly everyone is tainted and odorous. Now the Urban
League has hired itself out to the Saudis, then given a ridiculous "community
service" award to the bag- man Ambassador, and all the while says
not a word about the outrageous political and human rights abuses that
practically define the place known as "Saudi" Arabia.
