There's Always One in the Crowd...


A France 2 TV jounalist saw him in the crowd. Tintin gets the forlorn tourist, probably out looking for some Imodium, to answer a question: Was it a problem for him to cheer for Lance if he was such great pals with Dubya? (Regardless of the fact that the connection is limited to the fact that they're both Texans.)

The screen went cold. The refugee said something about sports and entertainment stopping at the US shoreline... Suddenly he's a "uniter not a divider" type of American supporter of his countrymen? Funny that - not too long ago wasn't he using old friends abroad to manipulate domestic US politics?

Allons enfants de la Patrie Le jour de gloire
est arrivé!

Endless thanks to Val & Co.
