Oh Canada…
Well, Bush made it, and he still hasn’t been arrested, despite his deep unpopularity.
The Beeb had this to say, though, which cracked me up:
Canada, used to being virtually ignored in the US, has recently become the new favourite target of right-wing radio talk shows and of the popular, notoriously outspoken Fox News TV network.
Typically, Canada is being depicted as a country that reaps all the benefits of living next to the US - including military protection - but is determined to bite the hand that feeds it with bouts of morally superior whingeing.
“Morons? Bastards? Maybe they don’t want our business!” bellowed one Fox News commentator recently.
See what happens when the babysitter gets off the phone with her boyfriend and sees what the bratty kids have done to the kitchen? Well, maybe they don’t deserve their pudding, now.
That “Fox News commentator” I think was John Gibson during a My Word a couple months ago.
