The cow is down

We have a proverb in Arabic: when the cow falls down, the butchers rush in. Here is a corrupt Fath official feigning purity: "He slammed Abbas' decision to form an internal inquiry commission to probe the matter, and said this was an insincere attempt by Abbas to shirk responsibility."How, in the shadow of such an affair, can Abu Mazen (Abbas) chose to travel around the world and not be with the people and explain to them what happened?" he said. The outgoing ambassador said he was resigning from all posts in the Palestinian Authority, and not just from his position in Cairo. Amr's verbal attack comes as Fatah sources are busy trying to minimize the damage caused by the affair." (thanks Olivia)
