As just about anyone who's ever worked in an office can attest, one of life's most festering annoyances are people who don't return pens that they borrow. Now it appears as though Czech Republic President Vaclav Klaus may be one of those people, and the citizens of the nation he rules over are none too pleased about it.
You see, Klaus, whose most notable prior controversy was probably his flat rejection of climate change science—a position that he even appeared on Glenn Beck's show to tour—was caught on video coyly pocketing a ceremonial pen during a recent visit to Chile. What's more, the brazen stylus heist took place in full view of the media during a ceremony to announce a trade agreement. The video shows Klaus clearly admiring the pen, then slowly moving it into one of his jacket pockets as Chilean President Sebastian Pinera speaks to the assembled members of the media.

I watched this, it was very funny. As a matter of fact, remember Art Linkletter and his program, “People are funny”?, it would have fit perfectly into that.
Wouldn’t it be great if all we had to worry about our President stealing was a stupid pen he was gonna get anyway?
He took a pen, and he’s against Climate Change?
Well that’s it, then. Let’s destroy technology and live in the stone age - we’ve got no choice now.
(Isn’t this a Monty Python skit?)
How terrible . . . he’s against the European Union because it’s really an undemocratic empire, he’s against “climate change”, and now the best they can do is frame him as a kleptomaniac of pens.
That video is funny. After he pocketed the pen, Klaus had a sight smile on his face like he got away with something. LOL.
Comment at the source:
“Maybe he needed it to write a bad Czech.”
He’s a piker compared to Putin who, when shown one of Bob Kraft’s Super Bowl rings looked at it then pocketed it.
