The Spectator (U.K.) ^ | 08/12/06 | Boris Johnson

Later, Boris.

[SmithL]

Bye

[Coop]

Later, dude. Good luck on that transatlantic flight back home.

[Restore]

Good riddance.

[Jim Noble]

FOAD, Boris.

[prion]

Boris Johnson is, and always has been, a bit of a boob. Yes, I think we'll rub along quite nicely.

As far as I can interpret the psychology of the rule, which has only been applied since 9/11, it is part of America’s new them-and-us mentality

I guess the author was asleep during the London Train Bombings...

[Lazamataz]

I don't get it. He doesn't seem to hate America or want a 'divorce' for any other reason than "just because".

[rottndog]

Buh
Buh
Buh
Buh

Bye!

[hosepipe]

Boris Johnson;

Say Hi to Nastasha, Rocky and Bullwinkle say good riddence..

[keithtoo]

Americans don't name their kids Boris - this guy is a fraud.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

If only Cindy Sheehan, Michael Moore, et al would do the same.

Boris Badinoff : )

[cripplecreek]

I make this formal, public, and, I hope, legally valid renunciation,

....that doesn't mean a thing. If he wants to renounce his citizenship he needs to do it legally and officially by way of the state department. I suspect he knows that already but hopes the reader doesn't.

[RexBeach]

Hey, Boris, I've got a book in mind that I thought you might enjoy. It's called "Whining For Dummies."

[CertainInalienableRights]

These people are getting so tiresome.

If they must be boobs, can't they just shut up about it already?

[MplsSteve]

Don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out, dickhead.

[hotshu]

Dear Boris,

Good riddance. Don't let the doorknob hit you in the a$$.

Sincerely,

hotshu

Not exactly a jolly good British name either, so what gives?
