Annoy Europe – Vote McCain
I cannot recall American op-ed columnists getting all that excited about European elections. But for some reason European op-ed columnists get all excited about ours. But it really crosses the line when they issue “warnings” about the American political scene.
If Americans choose McCain, they will be turning their back on the rest of the world, choosing to show us four more years of the Bush-Cheney finger. And I predict a deeply unpleasant shift.
No! Not an unpleasant shift! Not that! Please! Please?!?!?!? Anything but an “unpleasant shift!” We can change! We’ll do anything!
Not.
Heh. A “deeply unpleasant shift.” You mean that “shift” would be more unpleasant that the last 6 years of sneering European condescension? You mean more unpleasant than watching Europe abdicate moral responsibiity in its own backyard in Bosnia and Kosovo? You mean more unpleasant than your newly discovered solidarity after 9/11 which disapeared a week later? You mean more unpleasant than watching our greatest ally unravel before our eyes? You mean more unpleasant than that? Because, you know, your opinion really does mean so much to us. Honestly, you should lecture us more often because, well, you know better. We’re children and we need it.
I kid! I kid! I’m a kidder.
Here’s some insider scoop for you, Mr. Freedland. We crave doing the exact opposite of what Europeans want – because when it comes to understanding Americans, Europeans are always, always wrong. Get it?
You couldn’t have come up with a better op-ed piece to run to get me to vote McCain than this drivel.

Yes, us pore dumm 'Merikens love being lectured to by our British "superiors."
Just like somebody said about that hack comedian at the MTV awards: Give him a toothbrush and send him back to old Blighty.
Is Rove writing campaign advertisements in Europe again? I mean, nothing would make an on-the-fence conservative vote for McCain quite as readily as that statement.
There's something not quite right about the above statement. But don't tell me what it is -- I have my fingers in my ears, so I wouldn't be able to hear you anyway.
