Walid Jumblat

So Walid Jumblat was interviewed by Walid `Abbud on MTV yesterday.  He asked him what he read in Lebanese newspapers.  He said that he only looked at the cartoon in An-Nahar.  And that he reads Talal Salman and Sati` Nur Ad-Din in As-Safir.  `Abbud then asked him about Al-Akhbar: and he said that he missed Khalid Saghiyyah (who is on vacation but Jumblat implied mischievously that he was no more with Al-Akhbar) and read Unsi Al-Hajj.  `Abbud then asked him: I am sure that you don't put up with As`ad AbuKhalil and that you probably have not read his tough piece against you from two weeks ago.  Jumblat said: no, I read it and I put up with it.  And that "he has his point of view."
