Used to be that far-right-wing politicians could count on each other for support as they invaded other nations, restricted personal freedoms, rigged elections, and wore silly clothing. But no longer - it seems as though Austrian far-right wingnut Jörg Haider has left the bunker:
"Austrian right-wing populist Jörg Haider called President Bush a war criminal on Saturday, days before Austria's government hosts Bush and European leaders in Vienna. Haider, whose group is part of Austrian Chancellor Wolfgang Schuessel's government coalition, said Bush's meeting with his European peers on Wednesday was pointless as he did not expect the U.S. president to pay attention to what Europe had to tell him."
The Dear Leader must long for the good old days when his word was law, and all was "right" with the world.

Well said. It is truly a sad state of affairs when Austriathinks you're being too butch. I'm just glad Kurt Waldheim isn't alive to see this!

I'm sure this guy is just saying what lots of Europeans are thinking but don't have the nerve to say.

Okay, this European will say it, then: Worst President Ever.
Illegal, immoral war. Lies, lies, and more lies. Needless deaths. Loss of the world's respect. Trillions of dollars in debt. Warrantless wiretapping. Fearmongering. Smearing. Outing of covert agents. Trashed Constitution. Divider not uniter. Coward.
Then there is my submission for the "What does GOP stand for" contest:
Gasbags, Oxycontin-addicts, and Pedophiles.

Could it be this is only the start? The Hague in 2009! One can only hope.
