Bush's Boys

Two images remain in my mind from the summer's news - what little there has been.

The first, the PM coming out of a barn in the Maritimes waving his hand over his head, a cross between an entertainer coming on stage at a cheezy theatre and Mr. Pres. as he exits his helicopter. Do these guys share the same PR firm or does Mr. H. get lessons direct from his idol to the south?

The second, Mr. Sarkozy prancing around and hugging the Pres. It is now confirmed that the wave of insanity that made Canadians elect Mr. H. has spread to France, until now one of the last bastions of sanity. What ever possessed the French to elect such an undignified, dare I say goofy leader, another Bush puppet.

Two great countries, two catastrophic mistakes.
