... Britain shits self.

The Telegraph rants a bit.

The Daily Express froths at the mouth.

The Times forgets there are other people involved besides the British

The Daily Mail is remarkably civil about it, if we ignore the little bit at the end.

The BBC tries to sell Van Rompuy to their new target audience, British toddlers.

But yeah, next to the British press making great big fools of themselves (Though, to be fair, most of the mentioned papers are rubbish and probably not a good example of the British press. Except maybe the BBC), Herman Van Rompuy is the first president of the EU.

Good times? Not really, but there we go.

CNN had slim coverage, and it was still mostly about Blair, but I liked these parts.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_the_European_Union <-- theoretical position

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_the_European_Parliament <-- who?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidency_of_the_Council_of_the_European_Union <-- wha?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_the_European_Council <-- New guy!

I guess this is payback for your gubernatorial filibustering. Although I won't pretend to understand what this means either.

Anyway, he won't be visiting high schools in Eur force one, no waving at people, no speeches to the berliners of Berlin. It's simply not that kind of position

what's the difference between a French kiss and a Belgian kiss?

Willem · Joined: 09 Jul 2006 Posts: 6306 Location: wasteland style

At least one of the two Belgian kissers must be underage.
