#1 Chirac reacted with a furious taunting. "'Ow dare you call me an 'elephant,' you English pig-dogs! I am a weasel, and I am proud to be a weasel, you sons of a silly person! It is not called "Axis of Weasels" for nothing. Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries! Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time."

#4 "Three-nation alliance"???

Er, how many members does the EU have again? These guys need to stop talking about "alliances" - the rest of the EU members might start to feel left out or something....

#5 Another yea! for Tony. He is one of the few leaders in Europe with enough intelligence, knowledge, good sense, and biting wit to hobble Chirac's megalomania.

#6 Excellent deliciously funny rant, #1.

Another yea! for Tony. He is one of the few leaders in Europe with enough intelligence, knowledge, good sense, and biting wit to hobble Chirac's megalomania.
I agree with you that Blair is smart and funny. But Blair himself shares Chirac's flaw of expansive ego. I appreciate the fact that Blair was a major partner in GWB's decision to invade Iraq. But Blair is a committed socialist and don't any of us forget that. If Blair resided in the USA, he's run as a Democrat with Hilary as his VP or vice versa. Blair has ruined the UK's education system. He has put the UK at great risk due to his demented loosey goosey refuge/immigration policies. Blair has tried to ram EU/Brussels committee government on the Brits and only when his back was to the wall did he agree to allow the Brits a vote on the issue. Blair represented a great danger to the UK preserving its proud heritage and culture.

#8 Rex, I am shocked because I agree with you completely!
You called Tony perfectly, except you forgot to add that under his "leadership," crime rates in Britain have skyrocketed with their lenient sentences, anti-gun policies and molly-coddling of criminals and he's further wrecked the National Health Service (which was pretty bad to start with) as well as the education system.
Time for Howard and the Tories to take power.

#9 Wretchard has some observations regards Chirac, NATO, Afghanistan, and piracy. Worth a look, IMHO.

I would like to see NATO expel France - then see if that change can save it from becoming insignificant.
