Feet to the Fire

The Religious Policeman reprinted this interview wherein the richest man in Saudi Arabia (and therefore one of the richest in the world) gets his toes toasted by a western reporter:

You became notorious in New York when Mayor Giuliani declined to accept a $10 million donation from you to victims' families after you suggested that the U.S. was too friendly with Israel.

By the way, my check was taken to the bank and cashed. The problem was with my statement. I accepted that. Subject closed.

Subject reopened. The money was returned to you. Have you told Harvard, as you told the City of New York, that the U.S. needs to "adopt a more balanced stance toward the Palestinian cause"?

Nice to see they don't spend all their time gnawing on our own politicians. I might... might have to concede press monkeys occasionally have their uses.

Nah...
