Czech out the picture of thousands giving the president the red card. I know that soccer isn't that big in the US, but it's an easy way to show the president your feelings. Boy, Fox would run that picture for two years. [ link to www.ctpost.com] ----------------------------------------- PRAGUE (AP) — Celebrations on Monday to mark the 25th anniversary of the Velvet Revolution felt more like an uprising against the current Czech president. To cries of "Resign! Resign!" Czechs pelted President Milos Zeman with objects including eggs, sandwiches and tomatoes as he stood side-by-side with the presidents of Germany, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia at the university campus where a student rally launched the revolution in Czechoslovakia a quarter century ago. Security guards used big black umbrellas to shield Zeman and other presidents from flying projectiles. German President Joachim Gauck was hit in the head by an egg as the presidents were unveiling a plaque to commemorate the 1989 events. "Shame, shame," protesters in the crowd of thousands repeatedly shouted at Zeman, even as the other presidents were applauded. "I'm not afraid of you!" Zeman retorted to the crowd. |
