Tunisian Islamist prime minister

It was your usual pathetic show.  Tunisian Islamist prime minister is visiting Saudi Arabia.  And the King is expressing displeasure at the uprising by letting the prime minister wait before receiving him.  He never let the deputy secretary to the assistant deputy secretary of the undersecretary for any US Department wait for a minute, but we know how Saudi princes and kings are with Western officials, no matter how minor.  The lousy Tunisian prime minister did not even bring up the issue of surrendering Bin Ali to Tunisian for trial.  (Tunisian president did mention the issue last week).   The prime minister even called the King "king of the Arabs".
