THE Kaczynski twins, the most bizarre political partnership in Europe, assumed power formally in Poland yesterday after parliament approved Jaroslaw Kaczynski’s appointment as Prime Minister.

Mr Kaczynski, whose brother Lech is President, will accentuate the country’s status as one of the most awkward members of the European Union. In an inaugural speech yesterday he promised to make Poland a big country that would count in Brussels while protecting its culture and morals against EU liberalisation.

Homophobic, intolerant, ultranationalist and always eager for a scrap with Poland’s neighbours, the twins are sending alarm bells ringing in and out of the country.

Lech Kaczynski ordered the police to break up a demonstration by gays during his tenure as Mayor of Warsaw, declaring: “I have nothing against them protesting as citizens, only as homosexuals.”

1. When things look bad God always sends a reminder that they could be

worse. George Bush could've been born twins.

3. Now isn't this a hilarious twist...

and I thought this World War was going to not include Europe.....

Wouldn't it be something for Poland to be the big bad guy going to war with it's neighbors....

Not that I am hoping for that, but it would be hilarious for Poland to be the country "annexing" Germany and it's neighbors.

mayor of Knoxville and rumored former partner to GWDumbestever**? Inquiring minds want to know.
