BRITS MOCK BUSH INAUGURATION Thu Jan 20 2005 23:05:29 ET

Editors of major London newspapers wasted no time mocking President Bush's inauguration address.

Assorted splash headlines will greet readers on Friday morning:

"BUSH: HAVE I GOT NUKES FOR YOU, George Bush pledged all-out global war on terrorists and tyrants," headlines the STAR.

"POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE, The band played Hail to the Chief. A 21-gun salute sounded. Then, protected by a bullet-proof shield, President George Bush repeated his message to the enemies of democracy," screams the INDEPENDENT.

The TELEGRAPH slapped: "DEFIANT BUSH DOESN'T MENTION THE WAR, President George W Bush began his second term in unapologetic style yesterday, pledging to maintain his muscular foreign policy and spread freedom "to the darkest corners of the world."

The TIMES rips: "HIS SECOND-TERM MISSION: TO END TYRANNY ON EARTH, Four years ago he was the Accidental President, scion of a ruling family propelled into the highest office more by genetics and duty than by political zeal and ideological mission."

The GUARDIAN: "SMILES FOR THE FAMILY, A FIERY WARNING FOR THE WORLD."

and you expected what from self-righteous pagans?

[OB1kNOb]

Euro-rags make good American butt-wipe.

[bobjam]

At least our national leaders don't show up to costume parties dressed as nazi soldiers.

[Lil'freeper]

Meanwhile their little prince runs around in Nazi shirts.

[koba37]

It's all part of the collective British inferiority complex. It makes them feel better to tear down their more successful, more respected, better led American cousins.

Spent three years in the UK, felt like 10.

[Ciexyz]

They're just jealous 'cause Bush got a 21 gun salute.

[LYSandra]

Why don't they go have a cup of tea with their Candien buddies and the French poodles!

[ladiesview61]

Plain and simple...their green with envy!!

[VRWCTexan]

Yet all our pomp, ceremony and parade, etc dims by comparison to similar "royal" events in in the UK - so what is their beef?

[Mr. Mojo]

Mocking is their forte. .....and what they've been reduced to.

[ladiesview61]

ooops! They're

[OPS4]

These are the Nazis citizens of England who are saluting the prince and the german government.

Afterall the crown of England, is of German heritage.

So I say to alol Nazis Pigs, You lost once and you will lose again.
Ops4 God Bless America!

[Bombardier]

Thank you for the Declaration of Independence, Mr. Jefferson. And thank you, George Washington for kicking British butt on the field of battle....as well, thank you to Winfield Scott for whupping them at Chippewa in 1814, and Andy Jackson for driving that lesson home at New Orleans in 1815.

American by grace of God!

[Darkwolf377]

Bush didn't mention the war, and man, the whole country completely forgot about the war because of that, huh?

Shouldn't they focus on more outrageous speech--such as their law against "hate speech" that restricts freedom of expression?

[Bombardier]

And I almost forgot....thank you, as well, to Major George Armistead for not surrendering Fort McHenry, and for keeping the Star Spangled Banner flying, thus showing those English pigs we would NEVER return to being their subjects!

[nikos1121]

re-read these... i kind of like them. in fact, i think the headlines are great. will make them think over there. if there is an oppressed person out there, you have a friend in us.... being bullyed at your school? you have a friend in us.

i like the headlines.. means that not only did they take him seriously, but even more seriously... nothing wrong with a little uneasiness.

he'll wow them when he visits them later this year...

Please use original titles to prevent duplicates.

[NorCalRepub]

it is like those rags are run by the kids on my block. They get to the point where it is not even worth getting upset about anymore...........just shaking my head and moving on. I agree with the other poster though, part of it is due to jealousy that they can't admit

[insider_uk]

At least our national leaders don't show up to costume parties dressed as nazi soldiers.

OK.........

Firstly, I do not condone the fancy dress that Harry wore that evening. He's young and out for a good time. Weren't you once?

But, could you tell me exactly when he became a national leader?

[kellynla]

Now you've gone and ruined my whole weekend!
I won't be able to sleep a wink now because of what the Brit rags have printed? ROFLMAO

[Puppage]

their green with envy

I believe that's their tooth.

[insider_uk]

and you expected what from self-righteous pagans?

Pardon? I'm not quite sure you understand what you are saying there.

[odoso]

That's excuse me, eurotrash.

[skeeter]

C'mon be fair - not all Brits are priggish pecksniffs. We've all met a few cool ones:)

[odoso]

quite right

[Don Simmons]

Criticism from a nation of snaggle-toothed, mush-mouthed buffoons....who still have kings, queens, princes, princesses, etc.

Gosh - I just don't know why in the world we shouldn't take them more seriously.....

[Michael.SF.]

But, could you tell me exactly when he became a national leader?

September 15, 1984

;)

[SF Republican]

They should all be speaking german

[BushisTheMan]

The British news organizations stink!

They are so angry they can't convert us to socialism.

[John Lenin]

The Brit government runs the BBC, enuff said.

[niteowl77]

Geez, the anglophobes are out today. This is the UK's MSM press, fer cryin'out loud, not necessarily John Q. Bull. None of us are defined by ABC, CBS, MSNBC, NYT, CNN, WaPo, etc.

[John Lenin]

Make that Brit government controls the media.

[strongbow]

The Telegraph must be under new management. They have always been solid conservative. I once called it the best newspaper in the world. If this headline is accurate they have changed missions.

[hermgem]

Do not forget, the Brit's fought with us and supported us in the Iraqi war.
It was Blair though, against expressed enmity of the Brit's press.
But then again the loudest foul mouthpiece, the BBC got attacked by one of their own correspondents for reporting a defeat that did not take place.
Remember the announcement and jubilation of defeat when there was a sandstorm and brief delay.
BBC another Government supported mouthpiece and a blood relative to National Public Radio.
No surprises there, firmly with comrades in arms.

[Sender]

British screaming headlines ping.

[jjbrouwer]

I like "BUSH: HAVE I GOT NUKES FOR YOU".

Why are these Yank dorks trying to censure our press?

[jjbrouwer]

Spent three years in the UK, felt like 10.

It probably felt like 20 for the people unfortunate enough to have to come into contact with you.

[Marguerite]

Meanwhile their little prince runs around in Nazi shirts No more. He works now in his father's farm pigstry.

[OB1kNOb]

Bwwahahaha! Glad to provide the demand for the product supplied!

[JFK_Lib]

The Brit rags are good for maybe lining rat cages.

They're not good enough for any self-respecting bird.

[roses of sharon]

Really? As I recall the British papers and the majority of the people put Blair through hell. He became physically and emotionally ill, and did not look well.

He was called horrible names, was disrespected, shunned, accused of murder, and the cause of a suicide.

All while Saddam and Sons were defended, as innocent and not worthy of an invasion, Arafat worshiped as a victim of the evil Sharon, and OBL is crafty and brilliant for eluding the US.

[Clemenza]

Go back to yer buggery, Tory! ;-)

[muleskinner]

Yeah, the Anglophobe tossers are out today. Probably Frogophiles trying to stir up discord. Snail-eating, Garlic-breathed wankers, the lot of 'em.

[Richard Kimball]

I try not to judge the British people by what the jerks in their press corps write. Similarly, I have little in common with the people who write headlines for the NYTimes. The only thing I don't understand about the British is how they could allow the government to take away their firearms.
