Arafat : Really Most Sincerely Dead?
As I read the various stories and blogs regarding the confusion over Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's status, living or dead, I pictured a French doctor approaching the bank of microphones and uttering this declaration à la the Munchkin coroner in The Wizard of Oz movie:
As Coroner, I must aver,
I thoroughly examined him,
And he's not only MERELY dead,
He's really most SINCERELY dead.”
My apologies to Wizard of Oz purists for changing the pronouns.
