I was lurking through the freepers sight to bask in the glory of watching them lick their wounds and try to put a positive spin on Bush's performance and I came across a diary that had me in STITCHES.
It was a posting about a letter from the
President of Poland where he remarked that "President Bush performed like a truly Texan gentleman [in the debates] who was able to notice and fully appreciate the presence and sacrifice of the Polish ally in the war on terror in Iraq." The letter went on to say that Kerry belittled the sacrifices of Poland. While I personally have the utmost respect for Poland and the Polish people (my sister-in-law is Polish), the freepers responses were priceless.
The Freepers fail to realize that we PAY for the Polish troops to fight in the war and Bush increased aid to Poland in response. It's not a coalition - it's a rent-a-army to make it "look" like a coalition. Whatever the case, their help is appreciated, but the freeper's understanding of the coalition dynamic is amusing. Here are some funny lines (with my own reactions interjected between each):
According to poll research centers, Poland is the only European country where President Bush would win the election. What's more, it would be a landslide victory. I guess Polish people have also been "misunderestimated" -- there are a lot of smart people there who "get it".
We are now using Dubya's made up words "misunderestimated" in the daily vernacular?
I think I'll have a polish hot dog this weekend.
LOL
If kerry wins i think poland will pull out of iraq.
Oh No! The coalition is crumbling
Poland is still mostly Catholic, Old Europe is atheistic. Therein lies the difference.
LOL
President of Poland, Alexander Kwasniewski we thank you and all the other countries who are helping us in this war on terror. Please disregard whatever Kerry says or does - he's the village idiot.
Now they are using OUR lines for Bush against Kerry. So effective <sarcasm>. LOL
Poland is all we need or want!.
Ok, honey - you keep telling yourself that...
