But isn't he the daughter of the POTUS, this Sasha?

Mr roT said...: That Teutonic wit:

She writes, ‘it’s hard to decide which is worse: the insult to Austria, or that Hitler should merely be portrayed as a “black sheep”’.

Uh, I think Cohen is saying that Austrians don't consider Hitler a blacksheep...; 6/11/2009 2:02 PM
Pepe le Pew said...: yeah, it's not like electing a nazi to the highest office would constitute a threat to Austria's world image. SBC on the other hand is the true PR disaster.

Like Hitch famously said (paraphrased): Austria spends a lot of energy trying to convince the world that Beethoven was Austrian and Hitler German.; 6/11/2009 2:58 PM
Mr roT said...: I thought about that quote (of which you informed me) when I saw this.; 6/11/2009 3:04 PM
Mr roT said...: Wait, It's Germany that elected Hitler to high office, not Austria, right?

The anschluss came later.; 6/11/2009 3:04 PM
Mr roT said...: yeah. anyway, I get your drift.; 6/11/2009 3:06 PM
Mr roT said...: Pepe, did you see the trailer?; 6/11/2009 3:12 PM

The anschluss came later.

Well, duhhh. 1933<1938. Even Pepe would know that.; 6/11/2009 6:37 PM
Mr roT said...: How did that work out, Tecs? If Hitler was an Austrian citizen and they were separate countries...?

Why, that's just like our electing a Kenyan president or something, right?; 6/11/2009 6:38 PM
