Infinite MonkeysThe Irish recently voted "No" on the EU constitution — something many of the people of Europe have tended to do when they actually get a say on the question. And France's European minister knows who to blame: Neo-cons in Washington:
France's Europe minister, Jean-Pierre Jouyet, has said that Europe has enemies in Washington, suggesting that neo-conservatives played a significant role in the Irish rejection of the Lisbon treaty earlier this month. French daily Le Monde reports Mr Jouyet as saying that "Europe has powerful enemies on the other side of the Atlantic, gifted with considerable financial means. The role of American neo-conservatives was very important in the victory of the No."
We Irish are known to be hard to rule. And usually don't need outside help to be ornery. A question, though, for M. Jouyet: Are "the stinkin' Jews!" to blame for his own countrymen rejecting the freedom-sucking EU constitution, too?
