As would your liberal handlers, your such a useful idiot...they love morons like you.

This story has absolutly nothing to do with the USA or your President, so why would you post such an ignorant comment? could it be your blind hatred for the President or just plain ol ignorance? Probably both.

I see the connection, Rocky, why can't you? Or is it your blind love for the president? In my case, you're correct, it's my blind hatred for the Dumbya In Chief. I truly believe the man's stupid and 1/21/09 can't come fast enough. BTW, I'm a conservative and will be voting for McCain.

These poor brits would normally be fined by the police and sent home. Now they are sitting in a smelly arab jail not knowing what is happening to them. I hope the British Embassy demands their release.

I see no connection, as there is No Connection! Two Brits caught banging in an Arab country. We have had relations with the UAE long before W got into office, and will long after he leaves. As for W being stupid, he managed to get himself elected, twice, to the most powerful position in the world. What have YOU done?

So he left Friday and headed all the way to Dubais and by Monday was all the way home with his old job and everything? Wow, does he have wings? Also, when did he have time to try out this new job?
Your right, its impossible. I just made a similar trip. I left Houston on a Saturday night, arrived in Dubai their Sunday night (noon our time). This guy would have had to immidiately board another plane and head back here to make it by monday morning, even then, most flights from that side of the pond don't arrive in the states until well after noon. Somethin tells me this guy chickened out and never even got on a plane.

Bottom line is, they were stupid for "working it" out on the beach in an Arab country. Sounds like stupidity might be a crime over there. Ya think?

Why go there, Granted you may not care for the two candidates by why make such a stupid comment. Why would you question the morals of people you don't know personally? Who, may I ask are you to judge? what are you qualifications? When I read your comment, I thought " wow, not I understand why I'm a conservative" great post, perhaps you should think before you post.

When you are in another country you are expected to abide by the laws of that country, even the ones that insult your western sensibilities. What were they thinking?

Dubai makes NYC look like a dollar a day hostel. It is the playground of those who are richer than rich.

In modern times, sometimes we forget that governments exist.

In modern times, the world, and our lives, revolve mostly around capital entities, and fluctuations therein: corporations, markets. This is different from times past, wherein the world mostly revolved around states and nations, and fluctuations therein.

We can go party in Dubai if we have enough money to pay the fare and board.

Once in a while something like this happens, and we get reminded of the existence of governing entities.

Funny stuff.

Guess I gotta spell it out for ya Rocky. If the UAE wants to give a couple of kids two years in the slammer for slammin one on the beach, that sounds a bit draconian to me, but I can't help thinking that Bush would like nothing more than to be able to emulate that. Homeland security and all. As far as him getting elected twice, you got me there! I voted for him the first time, second time I lost my warm feeling and didn't. He's no leader and I think the people surrounding him manipulated him for their benefit. The past 8 years have been a long slide for our country and I hope it's not too late to halt it. We'll see.

'He said medical examinations of Palmer after the arrest "prove she did not have sex," though he did not elaborate.'

So those pervert arabs had to go looking in her coochie for p**ker tracks that would be admissable in court? Sounds like sexual assault if you ask me. Too bad she's in a s**t h0le arab country or maybe she could get a laywer and sue them. I keep forgetting the ACLU is only here in AMERICA!! I don't give a darn how nice their architecture is! The streets could be clean enough to eat off of! They can keep it! Sleazy arab perverts!

They are religious and selves-respect. I wish my country would have the same law.
