The Saudi Champagne

Saudi Prince Bandar Al Saud and his wife was in Turkey yesterday. Aboard their yacht which tours the Mediterranean Sea, they were comfortably sipping their champagnes along Bodrum beaches.

With all due respect to their private lives (and with all my jealousy for a holiday), I ask: Is this normal?

What would the ordinary -and bigot- Saudi citizen feel about this after learning that their petrodollar billionaire princes secretly drink alcohol abroad?

Why this hypocrisy?
