    Greens Rock!

    I always thought the Ceann Comhairle's instruction to Eamon Ryan that "The Deppity should not provoke the Minister", as he wiped the floor with a Minister, was one of the funniest Green stories ever.

    Today I came across this one:

    When President Bush came to Mainz last February to shake hands with Schröder for the cameras and pronounce a new day in German-American relations, he was introduced to a tart-looking but not-quite-familiar man.

    "Hello, what's your name?" Bush said to Joschka Fischer.

    "My name is Mr. Fischer," deadpanned Germany's then-foreign minister. "What's your name?"

    Methinks he'll get a big hug from Carole Coleman whenever the next meet! :twisted:
    "Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest." Mark Twain

    “When a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they and not the leaders of the government control the situation, since the hand that gives is above the hand that takes. Money has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without decency; their sole object is gain.” Napoléon Bonaparte
