Spain, Zapatero and Clint Eastwood

I just finished reading a great entry over at juancole.com (Professor of History at the University of Michigan), debating the assertion by Rupert Murdoch’s “news” organizations and others that al Qaeda won the Spanish elections. In discussing Zapatero’s victory speech, Mr. Cole lets loose this gem:

“After nearly four years of White House rhetoric stolen from old Clint Eastwood spaghetti Westerns, the determination in this speech to pursue anti-terrorism with an eye to establishing social peace and creating the conditions of human development hits me as a gale of fresh air.”

Well, amen.

You really should read the whole entry
