Miraculous

The much honored Bock McMillan, laird of Southern Charm and prince of Cascade Falls, lost his usual composure today and became teary-eyed and weak in his beautiful, well proportioned, hairy knees when he heard the news and the realization hit him with full force.

Carl Bildt

For the first time in history he was in agreement with the Swedish Foreign Minister, His Excellency Mr. Carl Bildt, about anything whatsoever.

"This was an unfair election process", said Carl Bildt, commenting on the Russian presidential election.

Vladimir Putin

"Putin won the election but observers suggest a significant deficiency", says Bildt. He continued to state that "Russia must improve its political system if the country wishes to become a European democracy like the others."


"Who would have thought that this could ever happen? Is there something I should reconsider, can I be wrong about Putin and the Russian election?", were questions the laird asked himself in the shocking moment when his perception of  the world was rocked to its foundations. 

Stupid Git #1

Today I will tell you about my favorite "stupid gits". I will reveal them in no particular order because I really cannot decide which of them is the biggest loser.

Here come the first stupid git of the day.

Tobias Billström
Tobias is 37 years old and a member of the Swedish conservative party. He is - to Sweden´s great misfortune - currently the Minister of Migration.

Tobias also happens to be from my part of Sweden (Scania) and is gay. However none of these beneficial circumstances prevent him from being as big a twat as any full-blooded heterosexual from the northern parts of Sweden. I always thought there was something terribly dysfunctional in his mannerisms and he has now fulfilled my worst suspicions in the most hilarious way.

With the help of papers leaked by WikiLeaks the Swedish newspaper "Svenska Dagbladet" unveiled notes taken by the U.S. ambassador to Sweden Ryan Crocker from a meeting in 2007. Attending the breakfast meeting were, among others, ambassador Crocker, Tobias and the Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt. According to the ambassadors notes the two Swedish ministers made many derisive and derogatory remarks about the Iraqi immigrants in Sweden during their little chitchat. 

When confronted about the leaked notes by the Swedish TV-channel SVT yesterday and asked for his comments and what he had actually said during the meeting, the stupid git Tobias managed to give variations of the same answer no less than seventeen (17) times in three (3) minutes flat.  

His response was: "The Swedish government will not comment in any way what-so-ever on these so called WikiLeaks documents since they are third-party data."

You can see the full interview here SVT Play.

I hope this will be the end of his political career but who knows...He should make an excellent Swedish ambassador. Is the posting in Baghdad free?
