AT least one distinguished Englishman takes a dim view of the Brits who are protesting President Bush's visit to London. "The British left intermittently erupts like a pustule upon the buttock of a rather good country," best-selling novelist Frederick Forsyth writes in an open letter to Bush in The Guardian. "Seventy years ago it opposed mobilization against Adolf Hitler and worshipped the other genocide, Josef Stalin. It has marched for Mao, Ho Chi Minh, Khrushchev, Brezhnev and Andropov. It has slobbered over Ceausescu and Mugabe. It has demonstrated against everything and everyone American for a century. Broadly speaking, it hates your country first, mine second."

Very cool
Especially considering that the Guardian is apparently part of the Left.

Full text of his letter is as follows:
Dear Mr President,
Today you arrive in my country for the first state visit by an American president for many decades, and I bid you welcome.
You will find yourself assailed on every hand by some pretty pretentious characters collectively known as the British left. They traditionally believe they have a monopoly on morality and that your recent actions preclude you from the club. You opposed and destroyed the world's most blood-encrusted dictator. This is quite unforgivable.
I beg you to take no notice. The British left intermittently erupts like a pustule upon the buttock of a rather good country. Seventy years ago it opposed mobilisation against Adolf Hitler and worshipped the other genocide, Josef Stalin.
It has marched for Mao, Ho Chi Minh, Khrushchev, Brezhnev and Andropov. It has slobbered over Ceausescu and Mugabe. It has demonstrated against everything and everyone American for a century. Broadly speaking, it hates your country first, mine second.
Eleven years ago something dreadful happened. Maggie was ousted, Ronald retired, the Berlin wall fell and Gorby abolished communism. All the left's idols fell and its demons retired. For a decade there was nothing really to
hate. But thank the Lord for his limitless mercy. Now they can applaud Saddam, Bin Laden, Kim Jong-Il... and hate a God-fearing Texan. So hallelujah and have a good time.
Frederick Forsyth
Novelist

"Erupts like a pustule" would be a great name for a band.
Or an overstuffed jelly donut.

The British left intermittently erupts like a pustule upon the buttock I like the way my 85 year old Dad says: "He wouldn't make a pimple on a horse's a$$".
To: evets
"eich bein ein jelly donut" Translation please. I typed it into various internet based translators and the dominate output was "calibrate leg jelly donut," which just can't be right.
