SAUDI PRINCE BANDAR -
MONKEY & MONEY JOKES
MIDEAST REALITIES - WASHINGTON - 4/8/2000:
Prince Bandar of Saudi Arabia, the long-time Ambassador to Washington,
the son of the King's brother, Prince Sultan, the Defense Minister, his
mother a concubine, spends alot of his time in London these days.
He likes to get away from Washington, his wife, and his official rtesponsibilities
these days. His latest girlfriend, Sylvester Stallone's x, is there
to comfort him. That said, the Saudi Ambassador has used the vast
petrodollars available to his family to buy up quite a few organizers,
persons, as well as real-estate during his American reign. And he
was the most important Arab personality who helped the Americans destroy
rival Iraq, as well as one of the guiding hands behind the "peace
process" and closer relations with Israel, Palestinians be damned.
SAUDI PRINCE BANDAR - MER FLASHBACK to April 1997:
M O N E Y T A L K S
THE $110,000 QUESTION
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 he 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.

Brown Award? That's the
$110,000 Question.")
