Belgians get scolding from Vito (Photo's of Bush were placed in urinals )

[VegasWolf]

WASHINGTON -- Photo stickers of President Bush and the American flag placed in urinals in some Belgian ministry offices in Brussels right before the president's European tour have Rep. Vito Fossella mighty peeved.

But the lawmaker's ire, expressed to the Belgian prime minister at the Belgian Embassy here, may have been misdirected.

Although Fossella (R-Staten Island/Brooklyn) accused the prime minister of responsibility for the stickers, Serge Wauthier, an embassy spokesman, noted that the Belgian government had condemned the stickers and their placement earlier this week, taking "a very clear position distancing itself from this initiative."

2. the Belgian government had condemned the stickers and their placement

I agree. Urinals are not the appropriate place, better at the bottom of a crapper.

3. In the US, Bush/Gannon want the offenders made "member-less"

[progressivebydesign]

4. Why doesn't Fossella butt out of Belgian politics???

Does he REALLY want to know what the Belgians THINK of Bush??? His photo would be used as toilet paper if they could get away with it.

5. Better Headline: "Vito Gets Scolding From Belgians: 'F**k You..."

"We Didn't Elect The Jerk"

6. Bush adorning toilets? I prefer Reagan adorning fireplugs...

... so dogs can relieve themselves in a genuine "trickle down" tribute to the Great Napper.

20. Good one!

LOL!

[BrklynLiberal]

7. Vito Fosella is just another one of Bush's footstools. I worked with a

bunch of people this summer and fall trying to defeat him.

8. Most amusing

:evilgrin:

[CoolOnion]

9. I'd say toilet paper...

...but Bush isn't good enough to wipe my ass. :)

10. Fuck Vito Fossella (R-NY) and the piss stream he washed in on!

Just because Vito loves taking Bu$h's Golden Shower does not mean the world has to. The world pissed back, Vito! Lucky Vito .. he loves the shower and he gets it from friends and enemies alike! Know what I mean, Vern?

[bemildred]

11. So, Ummm, are the stickers still there?

Maybe Vito could go help remove them.

12. Oh, God, I don't know which message to reply to

I'm just enjoying the "crap" out of this whole thread. In response to the post about Raygun on fire hydrants: Trickle down - tinkle down.

13. Rename Belgian waffles FREEDOM CAKES now!!!!

This is an outrage!

[Hissyspit]

32. Wouldn't Freedom Waffles Be Silly... Or Freedom Sprouts! n/t

[DesEtoiles]

14. "It's freedom, Baby, yeah!"

[daleo]

15. One certainly hopes nobody in North America picks up on the idea.

Now that this right wing politician has gone to the trouble of letting everybody know about it. They should have left the flag out of it, and just stuck to Bush's image, though.

[leQ]

16. pictures! we want pictures! /eom

26. Vito Fossella has another trade he can fall back on after he's replaced

He can become a free-lance monitor, checking to see that the tone in restrooms WHEREVER he goes is Bush-friendly. Maybe he could send in his wife to check on women's restrooms. No slight can be too small when you're a _Bush toadie.

From the article:

In his letter, addressed to Prime Minister Johan Vande Lanotte, Fossella wrote that "such cheap political humor at the expense of the American flag was beneath a country with such a rich heritage as Belgium."

Wauthier responded that, although he found Fossella's letter very moving, it was up to Belgian Ambassador Frans Van Daele to respond to it, not the prime minister.

He also chided the Belgians for expressing any disagreement they have with U.S. policy on such a childish level.

The stickers, which bear the caption, "Go ahead. P--- on me," are said to be a common sight in the public toilets of Belgian schools, youth clubs and pubs.
