#1 "Go ahead, Jean-Claude. I don't think you got the guts to type up that resignation."

#2 This sounds just like that bunch of Hollywood and far-left clowns that teased us with the threat of moving to canada if Bush was re-elected. They reneged and so will this guy. If Europe can't get this done in referendum, they'll take it to parliment. Watch and see.

#4 Oh, no! Not that! How will the world survive without Jean-Claude and a bunch of pissed off Luxembergers!

#5 There's probably a big demand for Jean-Claude in the private sector.

"No, no, you wet the mop first, dummy!"

#6 [holding his own gun to his head] Nobody moves or the Prime Minister gets it.

#9 Don't worry about his career in the private sector. People who know how to milk the EU will always be welcome there.

#10 I've always figured we'd read about our little Greek buddy someday along those lines. I can easily picture him glomming onto some EUrocrat to become his chief strategist for scamming the EU system. And if it went wrong he'd be the fall guy, of course, since the EUrocrat would be connected and our little schemer would get the shaft. 15 minutes of infamy and ~5 years in prison. Of course, that's when he would really begin to shine, having found his niche in life.
