   [1]Saudi al Qaeda-supporting scumbag skips town, leaves no forwarding
   address:

     Prince Turki al-Faisal, Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United
     States, flew out of Washington yesterday after informing Secretary
     of State Condoleezza Rice and his staff that he would be leaving
     the post after only 15 months on the job, according to U.S.
     officials and foreign envoys. There has been no formal announcement
     from the kingdom.

     The abrupt departure is particularly striking because his
     predecessor, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, spent 22 years on the job.
     The Saudi ambassador is one of the most influential diplomatic
     positions in Washington and is arguably the most important overseas
     post for the oil-rich desert kingdom.

   When I flew back to the states, the air smelled fresher than it has in
   years. That must be why.

   Apparently Turki will be replaced by Public Relations Weasel Adel
   al-Jubeir. The LGF folks should have [2]fun with him.
