Trying Not To Gloat...

Jonah Goldberg has a column this morning at NRO - "Brussels Is Burning". Events in Europe over the past week will likely lead to the doom of the current version of the EU being pushed by the leaders of "old Europe".

That is simply great news. In recent years the entire EU project — at least in Western Europe — has taken on an anti-American flavor. Gerhard Schroeder and Jacques Chirac — the lame duck and electorally doomed leaders of Germany and France, respectively — have kept their political engines running on the fumes of anti-Americanism in recent years. The EU project has been sold as a means of counterbalancing the American “hyperpower,” as the French call it. If a project with that kind of billing stumbles — and stumbles badly — and if anti-American nags like Schroeder and Chirac take it in the pants in the process, there can be no more appropriate response from the intelligent American than to dance a jig, do a shot, and wave the giant foam “We’re #1” finger in the air.

But American political leaders should do that behind closed doors. Public gloating wouldnÂ’t be in our interests.

Fair enough. But just one more simple expression of shadenfreude on my part...

BWWAAAAHHAAAAAHHAAAAHHAAAAA!!!!
