What a way to start the morning:
'I am the overlord! All bow before me!'
Emperor Snippy has pulled out of a speech to the European Parliament because he could not be guaranteed a standing ovation.
Yes, you read it right: senior White House officials said his Royal Whineness, the criminally court-appointed Cretin of Crawford would only go to Strasbourg to talk about Iraq if he had a stage-managed welcome. A source close to negotiations said last night: "president Bush agreed to a speech but insisted he get a standing ovation like at the State of the Union address. His people also insisted there be no protests, or heckling.
"I believe it would be a crucial speech for Mr Bush to make in light of the opposition here to war. But unless he only gets adulation and praise, then it will never happen." Mr Bush's every appearance in the US is stage-managed, with audiences full of supporters. - story here.
