The Ugly American
Attacks World Norms
Give it to him. He may be criminal. He may be weak physically and mentally. He may aspire to greater wealth and power by any means. But, above, beyond, and below all—he is one crass bastard. No wonder New York refused him the prestige he so desperately wanted.
That was then. This is now. Mr. Big has grown (to my eye) over bold. He is clever enough to travel as a Private Citizen to France this week. We can’t touch him for exercising those rights.
He is not satisfied with an attack on the American legal and political system. Oh, no. Now he ALLOWS the heads of state attending the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral to interact with the President-Elect. And, boy, do they ever try to corral and contain him.
This man sullies everything and every place and every time he can touch.
I’d say “shame on us all”—except who blames the sheep when the wolf comes to dine?
Joe, Joe, Joe—Mr. Big is humiliating you just because he can.
Well, that’s it for me.
He’s off my Christmas card list.
That’ll slow him down for sure.
