Spanish politician labels Blair an 'imbecile' on live television

[Newsjock]

The Telegraph (UK)

Tony Blair has been called "a complete dickhead" by a leading Spanish politician live on television. The comment was made by Jose Bono, one of the three most powerful figures in the Socialist Party. His remarks were not intended to be heard, but were recorded by a television team while he was talking to Joaquin Almunia, a former Socialist leader.

Mr Bono said: "Hey, and our colleague Blair? He's a complete dickhead (un gilipollas integral). He's an imbecile."

The comments contrast with the Spanish prime minister Jose Maria Aznar's carefully cultivated friendship with Mr Blair and will embarrass the Socialists.

Embarass? I think that they are going to be patting Mr.Bono on the back.

If Mr.Bono is up for re-election, he will capture 91% of the vote:D

11. Love them spaniards

Their national spirit is one of being uncouth in the most flavorful way possible. In the world of spanish speaking countries, the spaniards are well known for knowing how to swear in a very literate way.
