In the you-heard-it-here-first category, Doug Bandow, in his Tuesday piece on the EU sweepstakes, had Van Rumpuy leading his list of favorites to win today. Better yet was this quote Doug included from a Tony Blair supporter: "God knows what the Americans would do if we got [a] Belgian as European president. They already can't be bothered with us most of the time." Well, as the saying goes, we're about to find out.

Imagine the USA would have an Hawaiian as president.

Well, the Americans had president Bush.
Compared to him, Van Rompuy isn't such a bad choice. He can think, doesn't speak nonsense, and he knows his stuff.

I agree, Dennis P., imagine you'd have say an Austrian running one of your biggest states. Oops, I forgot, you already DO have an Austrian running one your biggest states...
What was HIS name again, Tom?
