Jordan royal buffoon likes to CBS 60 minutes and the correspondent is impressed
Look this stupid interview with the Jordanian royal joke. He tells the interviewer that Jordanian government went after those who were personally responsible for the burning of the Jordanian pilot. But those men were all masked. How did this dumb king know their identity? And he starts his fib by saying that they killed them all but in the conversation he then says that they will kill them all eventually. And the correspondent is impressed with the fact that the king ordered the execution of a man and a woman in response to ISIS burning of the pilot.
-Economist has reported on October 30th, 2003 that a Catholic priest "placed a relic of Mother Teresa" on the body of Terri Schiavo who has been in a coma in a Florida hospital.
