Quote of the Week

Aoun, first requesting that the patriarch and the grand mufti speak out about the presidential election and then saying: "I am not going to listen to religious clergymen who daily interfere in politics and give their views."

Man, making fun of politicians is just too easy in Lebanon:-)

Easy as shooting fish in a barrel.

BTW, the other funny thing is who the hell did Aoun ever listen to anyway?

Honestly, Aoun is the only one surprised by his weakness as a presidential candidate...

...everyone else knew how to read the game (and his worthless memorandum of understanding).

I'm only grateful this time he doesn't have the power to bring the whole country down with him (like the last time he was duped into acting like Syria's useful idiot in return for a unenforceable promise of the presidency).

But who knows, maybe he's got some surprises of his own for burning the country again.

I am baffled. On the one hand he complains about the clerics daily interference in politics and follows up with "their silence is dreadful" (Naharnet). What does he want - either publicly support me or shut the hell up!

I just don't get the guy. He could have played such a positive role in rebuilding the country upon his return.
