Ariel Sharon, who had a major stroke while prime minister of Israel nearly five years ago and has since been in a coma in a hospital room, was moved on Friday to his ranch in the Negev Desert, hospital officials told Israel Radio.
He will wake up in twenty years and be unsurprised how much regress has been made in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. Or, if there will have been progress, the people will elect him to put things back where they were. But either way, it will be a madcap comedy.
By the way, has anyone gotten him a photo-op with Obama yet? [NYT]

Maybe Israel wouldn't have gotten stuck with Bibi if they had given Ari the Weekend at Bernie's / John Paul II treatment.
On another note, Generalisimo Francisco Franco valiantly holds on in his struggle to remain dead.
Where's Chevy Chase when you need him? Sharon's a piker compared to Franco.
Amateur! Terri Schiavo vegged out for 15 years before retiring. Talk to us in another 10 years, Ariel.
I'll bet if he ever wakes up, first thing he does is start clearing brush.
And by "brush" I'm sure you mean "Palestinian homes and homesteads."
Yep, Bibi really makes one miss Zombie Sharon and Olmert.
Anything to avoid living in a world with a black President.
Sharron Angle is in the coma in the Nevada desert? I didn't know that.
It does explain a lot of the things she says.
At this point, they should just tell the populace that he's living on a lovely farm. Running and frolicking in the rolling green fields with other sociopathic, war-mongering ex-prime ministers just like him.
I wonder how they get all the snack cakes down the feeding tube?
Not to mention the Cheesy Poofs
You are so going to Jewish hell for that. lol
We can only hope that he has a Palestinian doctor cramming ham sandwiches down that tube.
After saving Prince Eric, all Ariel wanted was to be human.
The cost of keeping Mr. Sharon in the hospital, which is borne by the taxpayer, has been high and some commentators urged that he be moved to a long-term care facility or home.
So no Israeli death panels, amirite? Oh, wait…
Yeah, their death panel is the IDF, but it's only for the brown people.
60% of Israel's population is "brown" for the record.
I'm sure you're intellgent enough to know that I meant Arabs by brown.
I'm intelligent and Arabic-speaking enough to know that Arabs don't like being called "brown". Try to refrain from making racist comments. The middle east situation is horrible on many grounds, but race isn't one of them.
The surest way to snap him back to life would be to bring the Israel/Palestinian peace talks to the brink of success. Then he'll wake up, put on his uniform and go marching through the Palestinian district and get them all riled up, sinking any hope for peace.
Like he did when Clinton was president.
Sarah Palin has scheduled a meeting with Sharon. Probably be as intellectually stimulating as her meeting with Maggie Thatcher.
Either a comatose Sharon or a demented Thatcher could outthink the QuittyLady with one frontal lobe tied behind his/her back.
"Look! When I said his name he smiled! Swear to Jahweh!"
In a perfect world he would be lucid dreaming of Sabra and Shatila from the Palestinian perspective.
What's he got to say for himself these days?
I'm not dead yet?
He also has not lost any weight, I wish you could rent him out for parties, it would be awesome to use his belly button for a queso dip bowl and to give him a bacon mustache. I wonder if that would wake him up, because bacon works for me.
Its also one of the main ingredients I use for my get the fuck out of my apartment omelettes.
Have Cheney visit him and have a 2-staking party.
A Two Stake Solution?
They moved him to a farm because he's Israel's favorite vegetable.
Why is everybody so hard on the Jewish Hermann Goering?
Oh, STFU. You're on Wonkette. I'm brown; black, specifically. Brown is an issue as big as any other in this Mideast conflict, and you'd be disingenuous to deny that fact.
