Jerusalem lights to go out so Bush can enjoy sunrise

[kskiska]

Source: AFP

Lights in the Old City of Jerusalem will be turned off before dawn this week so visiting US President George W. Bush can get a better view of the sun rising over its ancient walls.

Bush, who arrives in the Middle East on Wednesday for a visit lasting more than a week, had made a request to watch the sun rise over the Old City from his suite at the King David Hotel, a municipal spokesman said on Tuesday.

To make the scene more dramatic, the authorities have decided to turn off the lights illuminating the limestone walls before dawn on Thursday and Friday, the spokesman told reporters.

Awaiting Bush at his King David suite -- reportedly costing 2,600 dollars a night -- will be a white terry bathrobe embroidered with his name in gold, local media have reported.

Israeli television broadcast footage of the garment throughout the day on Tuesday.

11. Didn't they give them a $3 billion raise this year?

I thought I read somewhere that the U.S. was ponying up an extra $3 billion in aid this year, or $10 billion over the next 5 years.....something like that. Whatever....for that kind of money they ought to turn off the sun if King George wanted them to.

If there is a god it would be a perfect time for him to turn Georgie into a pillar of salt.

"President Bosh", for example. I know a number of needleworkers who would love to express exactly what they think of Dubya.

Are they going to give him a robe embroidered: "I'm With Stupid" to take home to Laura?
