I believe so, under the cover of soliciting ex-pats.

Wasn’t he doing some fundraising there too?

His Iraq trip was where he could no longer tell Sunni from Shia.

No, the old* hypocrite gave a campaign-funded speech about NAFTA in Canada earlier in the year.

I guess he forgot.

*By old hypocrite, I mean not his age but the amount of time he’s been one.

What is fun about McCain’s reaction to this trip (I’d rather go as President) is that he has now just shut off his own possibility of a foreign trip as campaign event.

Which is probably OK since Czechoslovakia no longer exists.

assorted flannel and goth mayhem in Seattle!

Speak ill of flannel and goth, will you? I’m so going to tear you apart in my DeadJournal!

Blah!

Cassandra – I meant the one in DC. Pretty far north on Wisconsin Ave.

Anyone remember when Reagan played to the Europeans? Panderer. Kennedy? Euro-trash.

Europeans waving American flags a site that we haven’t seen in at least 8 years. We lost their support when Rummy referred to them as old Europe. and the stupid Repuk congress changing the name of French fries to American fries. That one was a big hit showing just how childish the repuks are.

Tom –

I don;t see him playing to Europe so much as calling McCain’s bluff.

Those pictures are amazing. I can see why they make conservatives weep inside.

A date with LG! Swooning…

Seriously, at first I thought that you were talking about Georgetown in DC until I remembered there is one here too. But have heard good things about the Ocktoberfest as well.

But can’t we just go for sushi?

I’m actually a huge fan of German food – anyone else have any other local recommendations?

On the side – I think it is very interesting that obama is playing to foreign crowds before the election, making a play for the foreign policy card. I think it is too early in the game to know whether or not this was a good idea and it strikes me personally as a tad arrogant but kudos to him for trying it.

Cassandra, I need to take you to Old Europe in Georgetown. Oh my, I love me some German food. If all else fails, you must come with me to the Ocktoberfest at the Saengerbund in Newark in September.

Not a fan of German food. I think the closest I ever had was in a restaurant in Baltimore called Haussners. An institution, it was, (I think it is closed now) with this crazy art collection stuffed just everyplace.

And only went to Disneyland once, with my parents and siblings a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. It was a gas once — there is no way I would pay money to go again.
