Holland's "finest hour"

Courtesy of Cox and Forkum, who have also been very kind in granting me permission me to reprint some of their cartoons in my MA thesis.

Rita Verdonk stated yesterday night at the final debate for the leadership position within the free-market VVD that Hirsi Ali will get a Dutch passport, and a new one at that if it turns out the legal mess Ms. Verdonk in her unbelievable lack of statesmanship has created.

As for silver linings to these clouds: it's a good thing that American-style primaries are being held nowadays. Not too long ago, big parties such as the VVD had candidates which were fielded by the top brass. Hopefully, the electorate will be just as merciless towards Verdonk as Americans were when a certain Mr. Dean displayed how prone he was to instable behavior.
