World reaction is basically what I expected
I posted previously about some of the dubious support the Democrats received prior to the election. Now, there’s some dubious support with the results. From the Associated Press story:
“Of course, the citizens of the United States are humans with a conscience. It’s a reprisal vote against the war in Iraq, against the corruption” within the Bush administration, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said. “All this fills us with optimism.”
Hey, if Hugo is good with the election results, so am I. Continuing on…
In an extraordinary joint statement, more than 200 Socialist members of the European Parliament hailed the American election results as “the beginning of the end of a six-year nightmare for the world” and gloated that they left the Bush administration “seriously weakened.”
Again, if European Socialists like the results, it can only be good for America. Finally…
Passions were even higher in Pakistan, where Bush is deeply unpopular despite billions in aid and support for President Gen. Pervez Musharraf.
One opposition lawmaker, Hafiz Hussain Ahmed, said he welcomed the election result but hoped for more. Bush “deserves to be removed, put on trial and given a Saddam-like death sentence,” he said.
Hmm, that last one sounds like something I read in the Smirking Chimp and the Huffington Post. Funny how radical Islamists and liberals have many of the same talking points!
