Rock star turned deputy minister
“Saudi king Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz appointed on Tuesday Prince Salman bin Sultan bin Abdul Aziz as deputy defense minister, Al Arabiya television reported. Prince Salman has occupied the post of assistant secretary general of the National Security Council (NSC) for intelligence and security affairs. He is now replacing outgoing deputy defense minister Prince Fahd bin Abdullah……………..”

It looks like the King recently fired one nephew, Prince Khalid Bin Sultan, as Deputy Defense Minister and replaced him with his own (the King’s) son Fahd. Now, barley a few months later the king has fired Fahd and replaced him with another son of Prince Sultan, a brother of the man he fired last spring. The new deputy minister has chubby cheeks (face cheeks) and looks like one of those Saudi singers or wtf passes for a local rock star, if you will. But he was born to this job.
It is nice to be a king of Saudi Arabia, it is great to be  a prince in Saudi Arabia. Of course, you still have to look in the mirror every day, and live with it.

Cheers
