So it turns out the story about the French blocking Morales' plane was total bullshit - LMAO!!!

Looks like all the whining and crying last night was over a bullshit story.

France didn't block Bolivia plane

ARIS (AP) — Bolivia's president left Europe for home on Wednesday amid diplomatic drama, a day after his flight was rerouted and delayed in Austria amid suggestions that he was trying to spirit NSA leaker Edward Snowden to Latin America.

Bolivia demanded explanation from various European countries it accused of thwarting President Evo Morales' flight.

French officials denied Wednesday that France refused to let the plane cross over its airspace amid suspicions that Snowden was aboard. Spain, too, said the plane was free to cross its territory.

But it's not about France or Spain!11!(one)11!!

ODS taken to new levels.

Oh ya.
