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

[Ed Anger]

The worst thing about this tragedy is that the irony of it all is so obvious that it kind of cramps your style in making a joke.  Good luck trying to think of a joke about the Polish elite dying in Russia again that wasn't already obvious to everyone who first read this story.

Did you hear about the Polish Admiral who wanted to be buried at sea when he died?

Five sailors died digging his grave.

Polish Prime Minister announced he is going to fly to the site of the crash to investigate.

With the remains of the Polish government, I presume?

Apparently, he is going to meet Putin on the site.

Frankenthread.

Polandball cannot into air.

Been reading a lot more about it, feeling a lot worse about making jokes.

Didn't Sikorski also die in a plane crash during WWII?

You'll never be cool then.

Didn't Sikorski also die in a plane crash during WWII? 

Yes. It was suggested the Brits may have killed him.

And now another Sikorski (nb, married to Anne Applebaum) is the foreign affairs minister and had a feud with the late President Kaczynski, who implied that he knows some facts about Sikorski that compromise his position as loyal solely to Poland. (He studied in Oxford and had extensive ties to the British government).

Coincidence?

LaRouche is right. You can't trust the Queen.

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 ).

[Martinus]

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.

Apparently, he is going to meet Putin on the site.

Where are they going to meet, in the basement?

Yes, Putin asked him to come alone, and not to tell anyone where he is going.

Georgia has made Kaczynski "The National Hero".

Speaking of which, Georgia is pretty fucked now, since the last President in Europe who cared about it is dead.
