New blog from the mysterious W reporting on treachery, perverse thinking, and Saddam sucking from gay Paree:
'Les guignols' is a popular political satire show on French TV Canal Plus (subsidiary of Vivendi Universal [NYSE:V;Paris Stock Exchange code Sicovam 12777]). is a complete rip-off of the British political satire show 'Spitting Images' (1984-1992) with political figures and celebrities portrayed by rubber puppets. George W. Bush is portrayed as a mentally retarded coward who urinates on himself. Osama bin Laden, on the other hand, is depicted as a plucky rascal with a good sense of humor. The popularity of the show is such that French teenage boys cheer on OBL in the streets of Paris, download his cartoon-likeness to their cellphones, and call 900 numbers to listen to his Guignol insult his numerous wives. This is not Baghdad, Damascus, or Beirut. I'm reporting from behind enemy lines in Paris. ...
W is on the job with sense of outrage intact.
