Thanks to Kerfuffles’ “Three Stooges Do Europe.” Via Reasoned Audacity, who is covering the G8 & linked by Instapundit. Kerfuffles links to Telegraph.
(My husband, no Francophile, contends I’m losing my sense of humor. He may have a point. Before 9/11 this would have seemed funny; maybe I need to lighten up. Still complaints of Bush’s anglospheric unilateralism get old.)
