Fourth Most Interesting Man in the World, Kissing “It” in Arabia……
“Elpah has interviewed Rob Sobhani the author of King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia: A Leader of Consequence, who told us that theSaudi king is an international statesman with a unique vision for Saudi Arabia, the Arab world, and the whole world, and he has appeared at exactly the right time in history…… Dr. Rob Sobhani, American foreign policy expert threw a signing party for his book on king Abdullah Wednesday at the CSIS in Washington.
Elaph: Why did you choose to write a book about King Abdullah?
Sobhani: Because I felt that he was one of four most important leaders in the world today
Elaph: which basic points of King Abdullah's vision you admire the most..........”
But remember, the other three most important guys are already gone; Larry, Curly, and Moe are dead.
And what about the Mexican guy in the Dos Equis commercials?
I almost feel embarrassed, but not for myself. I feel embarrassed for a whole country, a whole people, and for all schmucks who write certain books. All this should come under kissing you-know-what in Arabia or, more politely, pay-as-you-publish. The Lebanese have a stronger, coarser term for it, and it has nothing to do with kissing, which even I hesitate to use.
