That's the tongue in cheek suggestion of NY Times writer Floyd Norris in light of Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's attempt to buy Liverpool FC shares with Thailanders' (Thailandeese - what do we call people from Thailand?) tax money.
Norris also suggests that the American government might want to buy Arsenal FC, but the fact that Osama bin Laden is a big fan might be a turn-off. Norris obviously doesn't realize that Arsenal banned bin Laden from Highbury in late 2001.
