Three good friends, passionate Bush supporters all, recently took a trip to Europe (the name of the country is being withheld by the Faux) and upon returning, one confided to me that I just might have been right about some of my criticisms of President Bush and just what he’s done to our image abroad. And the answer, it turns out, may have fallen, or actually did fall into their respective laps.
I’ll explain.
They visited, it seems, what is purported to be the best strip bar plus, in that region of the Old World and it turns out that some of the lap dancers had such antipathy to Americans, that they wouldn’t do either; laps or dances. And those that would, held the position (as opposed to assuming one) that these guys should not “F*&k with us, but give us Euros”. Now how bad is America’s image, and the mettle of the dollar when the exotic dancers found these guys and their bucks so unexotic and well . . . not buck worthy. Oh, by the by, we wonder when these tourist come to grips, (sorry) with the serious issues raised here: Namely will a democratic victory in ’08 bring us / them improved contacts for Americans…. abroad.
