Bon voyage, Boorish.....um, Boris.

What an *ss and crybaby. He is crying because he screwed up and is blaming the US for it. Incompetent POS.

[toomuchcoffee]

Don't let the door hit ya...

[finallyatexan]

why on earth do these people think anyone cares what they do - so full of self importance !!

[SoftballMominVA]

Don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya.

[1rudeboy]

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

Wouldn't that be funny? He can't get back into the UK because the airport is shut-down due to a terror threat. LOL

[trisham]

Boris is remarkably immature for a 42 year old.

[subterfuge]

How did it write this on August 12th, 2006, two days from now?

[GottaLuvAkitas1]

Poor America, one less idiot.
How on earth will we make it without him?


2banana- Love the tagline!

[ichabod1]

That was the point. The bad old State Department was making him do that so he thought he'd write off the cost of the paperwork, and probably that unrestricted ticket to Mexico or wherever, by writing a column about it. In fact, now that I think about it, I'm sorry I wasted 5 minutes of my life over this. I expected an OPUS, for Pete's sake, not a complaint about bureaucracy.

[InABunkerUnderSF]

One down, about 30 million to go. If only all the loony left would follow his example. I'd even be willing to see my tax dollars used for their transportation.

Adios Boris.

[domenad]

Friggin' ditto my brotha.

[GSlob]

Well, as long as it is not being done to escape the outstanding obligations [say, some tax liabilities incurred but not yet paid] - let him renounce his citizenship - not in newspaper, though, but before a consular official.

[EagleUSA]

Maybe slightly OT, but I have NEVER believed in multiple citizenships. Under no circumstances.

[subterfuge]

And yes, I meant it.

[Dominick]

[agere_contra]

So ... did anybody bother to read the article?

Boris is having a go at the - apparently moronic - American rules for passenger transit. He loves America. But a thousand kneejerk Freepers just put their fingers in their ears.

[liberty_lvr]

Jeez, what a grandstanding drama queen.

Emphasis on queen.

Just leave already and quit boring the rest of us to death. Like anybody cares this little pansy was inconvenienced by INS during his worldly travels.

[7thson]

And perhaps still asleep this morning.

[Proud_texan]

"so full of self importance"

I've taken to calling them cows; I'm the Center Of the World and anything, no matter how trivial, that happens to me is of critical importance and I should be able to make all the rules and, if not, break any of them that I don't agree with.

In other words your typical d*ckhead.
