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

[sbr]

Polandball cannot into air.

I give full credit for the joke to Zanza who first posted it but then deleted (I think he thought it would be inappropriate - clearly he didn't know Languish ).

Is this some kind of reference I'm not getting?

LOL. Fun fact.

All heads of state (Medvedev, Sarkozy, etc.) called Bronislaw Komorowski, the Speaker of the Parliament, who is the acting President, with condolences, while Prime Ministers (Brown, Putin, Merkel, etc.) called Donald Tusk who is the Prime Minister, according to the diplomatic protocol... except for one President who called Mr Tusk instead of Mr Komorowski.

Guess who. 

Everymana Obama?

That would be my guess. 

Of course, in our government system, the President is both Head of State and Head of Government, so it doens't really make any difference.

Poles don't realize how most governments work.  

Especially Polish lawyers, a hilarious joke to the rest of us.

Some german newspaper caused a stir by comparing Kaczynskis to potatoes - because, they, well, look like ones.

Next time make do with commemorating Katyn, don't try to reenact it, mmkay.

The Russians are saying that the airport staff told the plane 4 times not to land due to weather conditions, but the pilot decided to land anyway.

It seems feasible Kaczynski ordered him to do so - he had a history of acting like this (for example he ordered the pilot to land during his trip to Georgia despite security concerns there). Probably he saw the flight as an issue of personal pride (he didn't want "his" Katyn celebration to be cancelled due to bad weather).
