BRITS MOCK BUSH INAUGURATION Thu Jan 20 2005 23:05:29 ET
Editors of major London newspapers wasted no time mocking President Bush's inauguration address.
Assorted splash headlines will greet readers on Friday morning:
"BUSH: HAVE I GOT NUKES FOR YOU, George Bush pledged all-out global war on terrorists and tyrants," headlines the STAR.
"POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE, The band played Hail to the Chief. A 21-gun salute sounded. Then, protected by a bullet-proof shield, President George Bush repeated his message to the enemies of democracy," screams the INDEPENDENT.

The TELEGRAPH slapped: "DEFIANT BUSH DOESN'T MENTION THE WAR, President George W Bush began his second term in unapologetic style yesterday, pledging to maintain his muscular foreign policy and spread freedom "to the darkest corners of the world."
The TIMES rips: "HIS SECOND-TERM MISSION: TO END TYRANNY ON EARTH, Four years ago he was the Accidental President, scion of a ruling family propelled into the highest office more by genetics and duty than by political zeal and ideological mission."
The GUARDIAN: "SMILES FOR THE FAMILY, A FIERY WARNING FOR THE WORLD."

and you expected what from self-righteous pagans?
Euro-rags make good American butt-wipe.
At least our national leaders don't show up to costume parties dressed as nazi soldiers.
It's all part of the collective British inferiority complex. It makes them feel better to tear down their more successful, more respected, better led American cousins.
Spent three years in the UK, felt like 10.
They're just jealous 'cause Bush got a 21 gun salute.
Why don't they go have a cup of tea with their Candien buddies and the French poodles!
Plain and simple...their green with envy!!
Mocking is their forte. .....and what they've been reduced to.
ooops! They're
These are the Nazis citizens of England who are saluting the prince and the german government.
Afterall the crown of England, is of German heritage.
So I say to alol Nazis Pigs, You lost once and you will lose again.
Ops4 God Bless America!
American by grace of God!
Shouldn't they focus on more outrageous speech--such as their law against "hate speech" that restricts freedom of expression?
And I almost forgot....thank you, as well, to Major George Armistead for not surrendering Fort McHenry, and for keeping the Star Spangled Banner flying, thus showing those English pigs we would NEVER return to being their subjects!
re-read these... i kind of like them. in fact, i think the headlines are great. will make them think over there. if there is an oppressed person out there, you have a friend in us.... being bullyed at your school? you have a friend in us.
i like the headlines.. means that not only did they take him seriously, but even more seriously... nothing wrong with a little uneasiness.
he'll wow them when he visits them later this year...

Please use original titles to prevent duplicates.
it is like those rags are run by the kids on my block. They get to the point where it is not even worth getting upset about anymore...........just shaking my head and moving on. I agree with the other poster though, part of it is due to jealousy that they can't admit
OK.........
Firstly, I do not condone the fancy dress that Harry wore that evening. He's young and out for a good time. Weren't you once?
But, could you tell me exactly when he became a national leader?
