FURY IN BRUSSELS

You wouldn’t think this powerfully Belgian image could cause any trouble:

You’d be wrong, though.

  1. And here’s li’l ole me, willing to pay big bucks to not be in a picture with Al Gore…

  2. Whoever it is, he has a corner office, which is a big deal in Belgium.

  3. What a perfect picture of the incorrigible shaking hands with the irrelevant.  If only they weren’t so insufferable.

  4. The obvious solution, then, is to pack Al-Gore off to Belgium and they can hang onto his every word. Then, we’ll be rid of him (and get some warmer weather, we hope).

  5. in Belgium, Al Gore is looked upon as a hero, a superman

    That does not reflect well upon Belgium.

    The whole dispute reads like a spat among members of some she-clique over who did or did not get invited to the “It-Girl’s” slumber party.

    Where are the standards?

  6. I’m amazed that the Belgians didn’t bring their sick and crippled for Algore to heal with his touch.

  7. They wanna fight global warming? Stop growing those damn brussell sprouts methane bobms…

  8. So how much does the Goracle charge to have your picture taken with him? Did these dopes win the Lackwit Lottery, or something?

  9. Stuff like that instantly makes me feel a bit better about German politics in comparison.

  10. He fits right in with those frosty Belgians.

  11. From VP to Euro Socialist super idol. You just can’t make this shit up. At least US voters had some sense (just).

  12. I dunno…the guy on the right, Mr. Verhofstadt, looks really, really uncomfortable.  I bet he scrubbed that hand with Lysol after he got it back from Algore. 

    BTW ``Laurette Onkelinx’’ sounds like she should have had a walk-on part in ``Asterix in Belgium.’’  If it were being written today, she probably would have.

  13. No need to fight ministers, with the way Jabba the Goreacle is growing, soon there’ll be enough of him for everyone to get a piece.

  14. I was in Belgium once. It was on a Tuesday and everything was closed, the excuse being it was some sort of saint’s day. My mother and I wandered around for a while and finally found a store open that sold stamps. (I used to collect stamps.) I also remember that when the train passed into Belgium the guards that got on the train (this was 1981, every time you passed through a country’s border the train stopped and you had to show your papers) were carrying rifles—a first in our wanderings that summer over Western Europe. Oostend was charming, though, as long as you didn’t mind the dog crap in the streets.

    My father went to Europe a few years later. He ended up in Antwerp. It was on a Thursday, I believe. Once again, everything was closed for some reason or other. Then they put his suitcases on the wrong train and they went to Amsterdam while he was on a train to Copenhagen.

    Belgium is a useless country, France and the Netherlands should just divide it up between them.

  15. That bloke on the left looks so….er….Belgian.

  16. #14 Andrea, I thought everyone knew that Wednesday is the day to visit Belgium.

  17. Isn’t this what happens pre every Euro war? Useless wankers shake hands in an office and the world goes to Hell?

    Posted by dean martin on 2007 03 18 at 05:24 PM • permalink

  18. No, if it’s Tuesday, it must be Belgium.

    Posted by Kyda Sylvester on 2007 03 18 at 05:26 PM • permalink

  19. #18: I stand corrected Kyda; you’re right as usual.
    All these years I thought it was Wednesday.
    My excuse is that when it’s Tuesday in Belgium and Florida, it’s often Wednesday in Oz.

  20. in Belgium, Al Gore is looked upon as a hero, a superman

    I guess that comes from living in a country 5 metres below sea level.  Or is that the Dutch?  (Who incidentally were flogged by Australia last night in the World Cup).

  21. People often ask why Belgium was made the administrative centre of the European Union. Now they know.

    Posted by Contrail on 2007 03 18 at 06:28 PM • permalink

  22. #21 Contrail,
    Is that because Belgium was the place where they could find the stupidest people to staff the Euro Union bureaucracy?

    Reading The Brussels Journal and other sites I get the impression that no day is the proper day to visit Belgium.  I may have to visit some day.  I suppose I had better do it soon, before it becomes part of Eurabia.

  23. Damn dsylexia.

    Am I the only one who read that as “Furry in Brussels?”

    Talk about being disappointed on the click thru.

  24. Errr… That’s “dyslexia”.

    Will the torment never end!

  25. I bet your they’re wearing a puffy pirate shirt underneath their jackets.

  26. Al Gore reminds me of a tent revivalist I ran across in high school.  “Brother Al—like in Hootin’Al” was the way he introduced himself.  AG is the consummate con man IMO, I hope he gets exposed soon.

    Posted by rabidfox on 2007 03 18 at 09:46 PM • permalink

  27. Exposed? No, I wanted want to see him in a nude photograph with other politicians.

  28. While the words powerfully and Belgian do appear in close proximity on occasion, it appears this is the first time that they have appeared next to each other on the Internet.

    I feel privileged to have been amongst those to witness this rare conjunction of words.

  29. Margo’s Maid—usually it referes to conditions downwind of said Belges… usually with a further modifier.

  30. Oh, that’s Algore in the photo?

    I thought it was the Goodyear blimp!![/cheapshot]

  31. #14- not so. The Hun has found it a very useful easement on several occasions.

  32. OK, they don’t call me Big Jim on account of my strict vegan tendencies so maybe I’m not one to judge, but to get all those Belgians in a photo with Brother Albert would take some wide angle lens.

  33. Fjordman also writes for the Brussels Journal. His latest article is very hard hitting and a warning to all.

  34. Is Al getting even fatter? ... looks like they prepared 2 chairs for him ... one for each *rse cheek.
    Euro business prolly getting nervous with their f’tard pollies talking with low-emission-Al
