With allies like this, who needs enemies?

She has that lesbo look.

Makes me all warm a fuzzy inside wathing them weasle and squirm.

Chretien said Ducros had apologized to him for the furore caused by a conversation she had with a journalist at the NATO summit in Prague. "She was graceful enough to offer me her resignation," the prime minister said. "I have not accepted that."

Being a Liberal means never having to say sorry! If she had any decency she'd send an apology to George Bush.

I'm sure this 'woman' will be getting a raise and promotion soon. She'll be a hero to the left wing morons.

The Canadians are a joke. Let me correct that, the left wing Canadians centered about their major cities are a joke.

They currently have a military force of some 55,000 troops, less than the police force of New York City. They have to catch hops from the United States Air Force and Navy because they can't get their troops to where they want to go and if I'm not mistaken the only two nations in the west with smaller military budgets are Switzerland and Luxoemberg and the latter doesn't have a military force.

This is the first version of the story I've seen that identified the person who called Bush a moron.

The earlier pieces implied it was someone in the bowels of the govt.

That the PM's own communications czar would make such a statement is very very telling. And not accepting the resignation, is more telling still.

[SpinyNorman]

Crap! I thought that was a guy!! Pretty butch, anyway!

I think that we know who the true moron is now, eh? Wotta hoser!

I had to do a double-take after I read the headline...

Seems to me, that the size of your miltary reflects the worth of your country. Why pay to defend something no body seems to want? They should change their name to Greenland, part 2.

Iceland and Luxemburg

I remember seeing something on one of the news nets about how the Canadians can't use some of their best combat planes because the communications systems could be overheard. And that it's going to take months to replace the comm systems with something that can't be eavesdropped upon. Now there's some foresight for you.

[NativeNewYorker]

Actually the NYC police force is less than 40,000.

But we do have about 80,000 public school teachers here in Fair Gotham, dwarfing the size of Canada's military. :)

"Can you hear me now?"

[jwalsh07]

Thanks.

[mewzilla]

LOL. You sure can, and that's la probleme.

That thing in the picture is a She????... wowww! Ohhhh Canada ehhhh!

Prime Minister Jean Chretien said Friday he has refused the resignation of his embattled communications director, Francoise Ducros, over her alleged remark that U.S. President George W. Bush is a "moron."

"I know her very well," the prime minister told reporters. "She may have used that word against me a few times and I am sure she used it against you many times. It's a word she uses regularly."

Why the hell would you make someone who calls people "morons" regularly your communications director?!?

Oh right, this is the Liberal government. Either they really are that stupid or else they are lying.

[caisson71]

So she didn't call President Bush and idiot in her "public" conversation with the press but did say he was an idiot in her "private" conversation with the press. And she was "graceful" enough to offer her resignation? The Canadian political left must think we are "ALL" idiots if believe that.

Tough crowd. LOL
