One rule for the yanks and a different rule for everyone else? Surely not....
What do they do to politicians to make them gutless, two-faced hypocrites? Is it some kind of subliminal signal during the oathtaking?
Or is it just that only gutless, two-faced hypocrites are interested in going into politics in the first place?
Well spotted. How did you spot it?
Perhaps Venuatu or some other soon-to-be-sunk-beneath-the-waves statelet could ask Twitter to remain open to help the G20 protesters 'increase awareness' of manmadeclimatechange.
It's not fascism when the righteous do it. Simples.
MW: A headline in the WSJ relating to the US Twitter arrest popped up on RSS and it rang a bell. Googling for the older report, those two Guardian articles were returned.
Nice link, AE, I must ask if I can nick that pic sometime. :-)
