There are conflicting reports of a recent visit by Star Trek Freak, King Abdullah II of Jordan, to a town located in the southern part of his country.
The discrepancy deals with just how the King was welcomed, just a day after he sacked (fired for us here in the USA) his Prime Minister to accommodate his subjects’ demands:
A security official said a crowd of youths flung objects at the monarch’s motorcade in two incidents in the town of Tafila, 200 kilometers (125 miles) south of Amman, just a day after Abdullah bowed to popular demands for an elected prime minister. This official, insisting on anonymity because he is not authorized to discuss royal matters, said the king was unharmed.
Government spokesman Taher Edwan later called the report “totally baseless.”
“There was no attack whatsoever with empty bottles and stones,” he said. “What happened is that a group of young Jordanians thronged the monarch’s motorcade to shake hands with him.” He said when police “pushed them away, there was a lot of shoving.”
A lot of good your noble appearance on Star Trek did ya, eh King? Just think, they’ll elect a Prime Minister so they can institute Islamic “reforms” which include even more virulent anti-Semitism!
Too bad you can’t take off to the Delta Quadrant….
