Hey, John. In case you ever "Nuance" your way back to us.
>>>May I point out a couple of things in the New York Times? Thank you. On Monday, there was an article by Emma Daly on the alliance between Washington and Madrid, Bush and Aznar. The article said, ?Although European leaders tend to a more nuanced sense of history, Mr. Aznar has no problem in seeing the Iraq crisis as a choice between Saddam Hussein and George Bush?!
This is a news article, mind you ? not an opinion piece. Although European leaders tend to a more nuanced sense of history . . . You?d be afraid to put that into a parody.
The article also said, ?On the streets of Madrid, noisy demonstrators have waved ?Toxic Texan? banners [those are the good guys], but in the Moncloa Palace complex where Mr. Aznar lives and works, the center-right Spanish government dominated by his Popular Party has always offered a warm welcome ? in the only foreign language spoken by Mr. Bush.?
Okay. But how many languages did Clinton, for example, speak? English and Arkansan?
(Dear residents of Arkansas: Please don?t write me. I love Arkansans. And, as my regular readers know, I love regional speech ? so lay off me.)
Ah, the Times. The Europeans and their ?nuanced sense of history.? Why is it always the unnuanced Yanks who have to come and bleed and die and help them out?<<<<< |
