| April 23, 2009 Money From Abroad Floods Into Lebanon to Buy Votes By Robert F. Worth BEIRUT, Lebanon — It is election season in Lebanon, and Hussein H., a jobless 24-year-old from south Beirut, is looking forward to selling his vote to the highest bidder. “Whoever pays the most will get my vote,” he said. “I won’t accept less than $800.” He may get more. The parliamentary elections here in June are shaping up to be among the most expensive ever held anywhere, with hundreds of millions of dollars streaming into this small country from around the globe. |
O God, O Montreal!
O urbem venalem et mature perituram, si emptorem invenerit!
Happy pays.
