No shame?

I thought today about the various tributes that Jihad Khazin wrote for Prince Sultan (father of the son who owns Al-Hayat, where Khazin is a columnist).  Among the many things told, Khazin reported how he sat at the edge of Sultan's hospital bed in Geneva once while listening to him.  Was he not embarrassed to tell that story? Do you lose all sense of shame and respectability once you are employed by Saudi princes?
