Good heavens, I almost thought that was Australian PM Kevin Rudd!
Oh well, fair shake of the sauce bottle. ;)
Funny. This Belgian bureaucrat doesn't seem all that scary. OTOH, being able to hold together the failure of a state known as 'Belgium' is quite an achievement.
He should be able to broker compromises even when common sense dictates that no sane compromise is possible.
A Belgian bureaucrat eh? Funny that Mr Rudd has been described as a dentist, actually was a bureaucrat, and is lampooned in the media as the Ruddbot.
Pity though. Van Rompeybot just doesn't have the same ring to it (but Rompeybot on the other hand does indeed raise some unfortunate implications, if you know what I mean).
