"Europeans, rightly or wrongly, have come to see Mr. Bush as a man committed to unending conflict in his 'war on terrorism.' His talk of 'axis of evil,' his division of the planet into 'civilised' and 'uncivilised' camps repels both by its simplism and by its implied promise of indefinite mayhem." - the UK Guardian, via email.

The arrival of the Ignorant Impotus and his handlers stoked the anger of thousands of protesters who see the Nooculer Nincompoop as the world’s biggest bully and warmonger.

The presence of the huge presidential entourage for the Boob of Kennebunkport's first visit to Paris offered France a chance to indulge in the extraordinary mixture of resentment and admiration that it has always held for the United States. It also prompted one of the biggest security operations France has ever mounted for one man, and contrasted starkly with Squinty McSquirtpants' warm reception in Pooty-Poot's Russia.

In the capital’s Place de la République and in the Norman city of Caen, there were demonstrations against the “evil empire” of “le cowboy Bush”. The protesters included intellectuals, anti-globalisation champions and officials from the Green and Communist parties that were part of the last Government of Lionel Jospin. “Law not war!” one squad of protesters chanted, in English.

Several protesters hoisted a large picture of a pretzel, with a sign that said Watch out, Bush! The knucklehead 'choked on a pretzel' earlier this year while watching football, lost consciousness for a few seconds and fell and hurt his head.

Police moved swiftly to halt one show of protest, clearing the Pont de Grenelle over the Seine after anti-death penalty demonstrators hung silhouettes from the bridge symbolising the 152 prisoners executed during pResident Evil's governorship of Texas.

The Connecticut Cowstalker, seen as naive and dangerous by the Left in France, embodies the Republican, God-fearing side of America that French intellectuals love to despise. - - (from the UK Times, as seen at the bushmoonie site)
