Well, they called the bluff and found it as empty as Ted Kennedy's cranium.....Not even papertiger, more like toilet tissue.

So why not string the Brits along a little more? True they got the most humiliating result imaginable in these tough guys saying sorry about everything on al-Jazeera, but they could have got Tony to grovel like Bigley in a couple weeks, for sure.

VDH has another take.

AA: toilet tissue? Ah, but it has Penrose tiles on it.

Can any of you imagine the Brits behaving like that at the Battle of Azincourt? This is the cheese-eating surrender crowd's revenge. What would a catchy replacement for Montezuma be in this context?

Armagnac's Revenge has the wrong connotation, having had a couple episodes back in my Francophile days...

I like Armagnac. I'll trade you two VCPs you owe for a bottle of that stuff. Haven't had it since last Fall in Bezerkeley. My landlord--a Frenchie lefty, bien sur--had a wonderful stash of the stuff, treated me with some.

As for Azincourt (it's spelled that way, by the way) -- the Brits had to fight with pants down because of bad episodes the previous night, and still beat the crap out of the French!

Didn't they have better weapons?
