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.
