Rhetorical Question

Are all Europeans such gormless snots as this guy?

"There were not many journalists from non-combatant nations present in the remote corner of Beijing where Japan played the US in the Olympic women’s softball final on Thursday night.
But a Scandinavian sat opposite me in the press room afterwards. We exchanged conspiratorial smiles: the Americans had lost and that always goes down well with everyone else at the Olympics.


In the main stadium around the same time, two US relay teams dropped the baton and crashed out of events they might have won. The smiles there, I understand, were less furtive."

Maybe my inferority complex was this raging in junior high, but I've actually matured since then. Matthew Engel, alas, has not.
