Michael J. Totten points to an article in the London Times regarding politics in Spain:
News from the Rift
London's Telegraph reports that the Spanish media are blasting Prime Minster José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero as the anti-American asshat that he is.
The Spanish Socialist prime minister, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, yesterday faced a barrage of derision over his government's anti-Americanism following a snub by President George W Bush.
Mr Zapatero was one of the first premiers to send a congratulatory telegram to Mr Bush after his election victory last week.
But, in what was a stinging confirmation of the poor state of relations between Washington and Madrid, he has yet to receive a reply.
Zapatero was the P.M. voted in just after the Madrid terrorist bombings. The Spanish people thought that by electing an appeaser, they would be spared further Islamist acts of terror. They have not.
