Bratislava Diary...(An American housewife's adventures in Central Europe)

[SoCalDem]

You gotta read this accounting of a visit Bush/Cheney made to Europe and a speech that flopped big time.. I don't recall seeing it reported this way..

I was looking for the AP story about the empty chairs being removed at some speeches, and this one popped up on Google..

It's well worth the read.. and I have bookmarked her site :) She's a good writer..

1. Thanks for posting this. It was very funny.

I read to my hubby as he is getting ready to go to church. We found this to be humorous: "So Mr. President comes out. He is introduced by the Slovak Prime Minister. What I thought was Dick Cheney was not the Slovak president's wife as Young Man from Munich suggested, but the Slovak president (www.whitehouse.org, the official White House web site, had a photo of Bush greeting the Czech president and the caption says it is the Slovak prez . . . the Czechs and Slovaks are howling about that as well as the USA Today map that identifies Slovakia as Slovenia . . . but what do you expect from USA Today?)"

And this had us ROFLOL: "He played well to the crowd who were really rather warm. Except for the Heckler sitting up in the Diplomatic Seat. A young woman keeps standing and shouting "GO HOME!!!" I see the Commerce Dept. Guy who got us the tickets fly over there. Saw him today on the street and asked him about it. He said that he pleaded with her, "Please sit down!" "My seat is wet," she replied. So he took his scarf and dried off her seat for her. She said "Thank you," and sat until the next opportunity to yell. He asked her if she was protesting the war in Iraq. "No, I'm an environmentalist," she says. I believe his response to that was "HA!""

A nice read for a cold Sunday morning. Thanks!
