Jan O. Karlsson, the Swedish Minister for Migration, has got himself into trouble after calling the American President «that #$$%#! Texas geezer».

The rather impolite description of George W. Bush was presented by the Swedish minister during a meeting with the press this week. According to the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, Mr. Karlsson called Mr. Bush «that fu**ing Texas geezer». News bureau TT asked Mr. Karlsson if these were in fact his words, and the minister responded: «Well, I have read in the newspaper that I have said something like that, but I can not remember exactly which words I used».

Wants explanation The Swedish Prime Minister, Göran Persson, is not happy about his Minister’s language and told Aftonbladet that he takes the incident seriously and wants a word with the Minister.

The Prime Minister thinks the Jan O. Karlsson can continue as a member of the Swedish government, but reportedly only if the Mr. Karlsson “sorts this out”.

Jan O. Karlsson said he used the coarse description of the President in connection with criticising US politics on AIDS and abortions and criticising the fact that that the US has withheld financial means from the UN.

Met the US Minister of Health

Mr, Karlsson said he had repeated the critics to the American Secretary of Health and Human Services, Tommy Thompson:

«I repeated my critics in the same severe manner. I even told him about the commotion in connection with the words I reportedly used to describe the President».

Asked what the American Secretary thought about the description «that fu**ing Texas geezer», Mr. Karlsson said:

«He did not comment on that in particular, but after I had finished my criticism, he did say »You are quite a sincere one, aren’t you?«».

I think you're concentrating on the wrong word... 'texan' is key here. Europeans don't like Texans.

Note the crude and filthy language these "sophisticated" europeans use. Apparently these people were raised by pigs, they obviously were never taught manners.

From what I've personally observed, whenever Scandanavians or Germans try to talk trash in English, it never works out quite right. Like in this case, where I'm assuming he's using the British meaning of 'geezer', but it still comes out sounding wimpy.

After the Lincoln landing Dubbya is not a Geezer in any shape or form.

Sounds to me like dick envy

strange thing is, they all seem to believe that all Americans are from Texas.

[demosthenes the elder]

"Can we nuke Sweden, please?...by accident, naturally."

They and many of the other Euro-weenies need a good attitude adjustment.

Your solution may be a bit severe, however, what if we made them bathe daily?
