POTATO SPLASH: Polish President Lech Kaczynski 'in plane crash'

[grumbler]

Dear god, this national orgy of death is becoming unbearable. The conservatives are now painting the dead Kaczynski as some sort of the Greatest President Poland Ever Had (tm), and public hysteria (stoked by tabloids and other media) is reaching new levels of grotesque and farcical.

I have seen politicians describing it as the "greatest tragedy in the world's recent history" (Haiti, hello?), a proof positive that "Poland is the Christ of the world" being "the nation most tried by fate" of all nations in the world (Poland, really?  ), and "Second Katyn" (yeah, brutal murder of 20,000 people = plane with 100 people crashing into the ground because the pilot was landing despite bad conditions).

Suddenly, "all the world is looking at us" and recognizing the greatness of Kaczynski.

SNAP THE FUCK OUT OF IT ALREADY.

What do you expect from a nation full of Martis?  Polish headlines read like the titles to your threads.

Doesn't sound different from any normal martyrdom of a dead leader.

You have to admit that the "Poland is the Christ of the world" line is a tad bombastic.

Jesus is King.

You got me there.

Poor Romania always gets forgotten.

I don't know what to make of this:

You know that little cloud of volcanic ashes is severely hampering air travel. The Czech president traveled by railroad. The German in a helicopter. Putin... well, allegedly Putin arrived by air, he just flew at tree top level (I wonder if that means he arrived in Warsaw piloting his very own Mig fighter; surely that would increase his already evident 'Evil Overlord Aura'(TM).

Medvedev represented Russia, Putin wasn't there

Or was he

My sources said Putin, and I have to protect them
