Curry Cannot Prevent Dutch Govt From Collapsing

The freaking Dutch government collapses:

    The Dutch government collapsed Wednesday as the fledgling party of murdered anti-immigration populist Pim Fortuyn imploded less than 100 days after storming into a center-right coalition.

    The three-way government of Christian Democrats (CDA), VVD Liberals and the Pim Fortuyn List (LPF) crumbled after a bitter power struggle in Fortuyn's party forced two of its ministers to resign.

    The government's resignation makes CDA Prime Minister Jan-Peter Balkenende's government the shortest-lived in the Netherlands since World War II.

But what I want to know is: where the hell was Adam Curry?? Off making home movies, it would appear.
