I just went on a trip to Italy and on the plane there was a copy of the Herald Tribune, and in the Herald tribune was an article on Klaus.
The article called him ' the Abrasive Czech' and quotes Timothy Garton Ash as calling him 'one of the rudest men I have ever met'.
Not so, says Klauses advisor Dusan Triska, who says "Whatever you do, you can't resist Klaus".
Apparently things are pretty close there.
Former advisor (and spurned hater?) put a dampener on things by saying that "even if a horse was president of the czech republic it would have a 50% approval rating"
I say let's test that theory!
Gallop atrot you fiery footed steed!
And in Kyiv we may be on the rocket-train to financial collapse, but we scored super champion points coz Qaddafi ( otherwise known as "Guide of the First of September Great Revolution of the Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya" )came to visit! Walla-hey!
The article on the Unian press website pointed out that he came female security staff, to show that Arabs respect women, and finished with the line:
"During his visit in Kyiv, the Libian leader will live in a tent."

in a tent? in a tent set up in a room at the kyiv hilton? is there a kyiv hilton? if there were, would she be the hilton sister of whom no one ever speaks?
(seriously, though, i've read some interesting things about qaddafi -- i think his craziness was exaggerated by the americans when he used to topped their terrorist list. he actually is surprisingly non-sexist - he believes in education for women, which is not a given in his part of the world (or his line of work -- that is, dictator :)
