The desperate king of Jordan

The King of Jordan long posed as a reformer--like all pro-US dictators in the region. Yesterday, he started to pose as a protester--kid you not.  Now he claims that he supports protesters in Jordan.  He added that even supports calls for his ouster and maintains that beheading him would be a just punishment for long decades of Hashemite repression and oppression.   As for dragging his body through the streets of Jordan, he said that it may not be all that necessary.  (thanks Eyad)
