Sarkis Na`um

He is one of the most stale and most boring and most tedious of columnists, so it it is fitting that he writes for An-Nahar (the barely surviving right-wing, sectarian Christian, racist anti-Syrian (people), anti-Palestinian (people) publication in Beirut).  He made his career by serving as a mouthpiece for `Abdul-Halim Khaddam.  He broke with the Syrian regime--you guessed it--after Syrian troops left Lebanon.  He comes to the US once or twice a year and he publishes interviews with various figures in DC: notice how worshipful he is of them and notice how he treats whatever the white man says as Truth.  It is rather comical.
