  1. Fired! Now that’s rich! But I guess they don’t want her blood on their hands.
    But I’d still file her under “Dead Biaaatch Walking.”

  2. I don’t know LNH, I don’t want to be the devil’s advocate, but I was wondering if Wi2am Wahhab was killed for example, wouldn’t Future TV or LBC anchors have secretly gloated too?
    But maybe it’s just me..

  3. I would try not to gloat, but to compare Wahhab to Eido is a farce. They are not simply two politicians on opposite sides of the fence so to speak

  4. Of course Mustapha, that’s normal human reaction, and absence of schadenfreud in situations like these raise a few red flags for me personally. But we’re not talking about your run of the mill average joe here! We’re talking about an official mouthpiece, a representative of a current (the speaker’s) that wants to paint itself in the hues of a neutral intermediary. But most importantly, we’re talking about a news outlet here that, at least in its ostentations, feigned impartiality. But we’re also talking (presumably) about a representative of Lebanon’s “educated” elites (assuming that botox-queen has had some formal education in something–apparently NOT journalistic ethics though–) who, at least, should set the tone for SOME modicum of decency.

  5. Mustapha,

    There would have been some supporters of March 14 gloating as well in a reverse situation–but many “opposition” supporters like to claim that they take the moral high ground, we now have proof that this is BS. Not to mention assassinations which they are party to…and someone mentioned this on AK’s blog–there’s no way she would talk like that unless the environment allowed it. Meaning, everyone at the station must talk and think like that. Shows what kind of thoughts are roaming around the halls of NBN…

  6. Two things I would like to mention.
    1. I am surprised that the anchorwoman is not wearing chaddor! If she likes HA so much, she should be wearing it!

    2. Regardless who is being assassinated, we should not gloat about it! We are civilized people not like the heartless, blood thirsty opposition who believe only in killing!

  7. If that were to happen, Mustapha, the common reaction for someone who is on the other side of the fence is indifference, perhaps impatience with the hullaballooo, but not zeal for murder and for more killings to come.. I find it extremely disheartening because it seems to me this is not some botox-queen Bit-’s sentiment, but one shared by many in Lebanon…. We the Lebanese do not value life and I am comfortable to say in this sense we are less civilized than we would like to think we are or claim to be… (Phoenician descendents.. not like the Arabs.. what BS!!!! whichever/ whatever we are, we are defintely worse than many of the people we look down on).

  8. I agree with A Kara. Remember the 15 years of civil war; yes, it was primarily a Lebanese civil and we are all guilty because we dehumanized the others that are not from our community, region, ideology etc…

  9. Poor girl. Maybe she’ll find a job with
    Ahmedinejad instead - after a serious change of dress and make-up, of course. In any case, she should spend some time in Teheran if only to see what life would be like here if she had her way. Judging from her rather vulgar style, I don’t somehow think it would suit her!

  10. You guys are saying that the elected majority would gloat if one of the ‘other side’ was killed? Let’s see :7 anti-syrians murdered, and how many pro-syrians?? 0! Do you guys still think that you’re dealing with ‘fair and reasonable’ people? Wake up….and ask yourselves who are the ones being killed (not hypothetically, but in reality) and who are the ones gloating? Then patiently wait for those pro-syrians to come to their senses, while they continue to kill and laugh.

  11. Too much Botox - Maybe it went to her brain.

  12. fired or not is a minor detail. The major thing in this is what the opposition and their blind followers think and advocate. I’ve read it too many times on “opposition” forum (Namely FPM’s citrus room or whatever the hell they call it) the hate they have towards Sunnis…. Know people, know, the opposition hates you to the death !!!!!!!

  13. you see here is an example

    she is Lebanese right?

    so why are you blaming Syrians?

    Your people will live in prosperity and peace if they learn to live in peace and respect each other.

  14. You know what is really ashaming about that matter? It is that there are still people who rejoice that someone who is from different opinion is KILLED… We still do not have the maturity to take the “battle” to the political arena, and only the political arena!

  15. Freedom of speech vs Politicaly Correct. Enough hypocrisy, both parties are praying for each others death. As an anchorwoman she was supposed to be politicaly correct, she chose freedom of expression, and i trully wish people be really honnest with each others and stop hiding behind well prepared sentences. I wish we can hear the true intentions of our political class without any filtering. For ex: Nasrallah going straight to the point and saying: I want Lebanon to follow the Irani model! and Hariri instead of saying dialogue and we are brother replying honnestly to him No F…in Way!!! This girl did the right thing, at least she was honnest and believed every word she said. I wish we will learn from her and forget about the politicaly correct because we sure suck at it!!!

  16. Ralf:
    You are exactly the kind of person that the opposition represents. Someone hateful, who deeply believes in killing the other party, not in democracy. Just because your role model “sawsan” is a hating, blood-thirsty member of the opposition deep in her heart, doesn’t mean that the elected majority feels the same about the opposition. That is where we are different, you guys think you need to kill us to win, and we believe in free elections and peace. If you guys had won the election, we wouldn’t have wished for your death, we would have accepted the results, and waited to vote another day. Not killed you! But someone like you is too hateful to understand the concept of free elections and peace, it seems. You’re right about one thing, you suck at it!

Hello, my name is Mustapha and I blog in The Beirut Spring about Lebanese society and politics. I started in February 2005 after the killing of P.M. Rafik Hariri.
