Couldn't Happen to a Worthier "Person"

Wizbang and others are reporting that Yasser Arafat has died, or more likely, is at this point "mostly dead", with no brain activity and kept "alive" with machines. My guess is, he will remain "alive" until the Palestinians figure out what to do in his absence. Given how Arafat was as likely to kill overly-ambitious confederates as little children and athletes, it may take some time for them to figure this out.

The only shame about Arafat's death was that it was not at the hands of his victims - either the Israeli or the Palestinian ones.

UPDATE (11/10): Arafat is finally really most sincerely dead.
