Meet Muhammad Said Al-Bourini, A Former Candidate For Governor Of Washington

Watch, and listen, here.

Look at the craziness of both invited guests, their conspiracy notions, their imagined American reality, and look too at the hapless host, the one who keeps thinking he's just like his Western analogues, when he's as crazy, from our point of view, in his acceptance of his guests' craziness and conspiracy theories, as any of them. Despite the suit. Despite the tie.

What a galere is on display here.

Take a good look. And listen to that former candidate for governor of Washington State, thus apparently someone who has managed to acquire American citizenship (but to call him "an American" is a bit much, don't you think?), as he yells at the top of his lungs to the audience. Look at his expression. Try to imagine him as Governor of Washington.

Available on Kindle now.
