Man, the British tabloid press just loathe the Shrub. Check this out. Remember a few months ago when this was just being sent 'round as an email gag?

Now it's a major headline! It's almost enough to forgive them for the other 28 days of the month when they obsess, front-page like, over Patsy Kensit, David Beckham's sperm-based offspring, Diana's bodyguard, somebody's knickers, and the fact that Edwina Currie had a four-year affair with John Major (that, I didn't need to know).
And could you imagine any U.S. newspaper getting away with these?

WE JOIN RAID ON NUKE POWER CENTRE
Jan 14 2003Exclusive by ROSA PRINCE
THE Mirror penetrated Sizewell nuclear plant yesterday exposing horrifying security lapses that leave it wide open to an al-Qaeda attack.
On the day Tony Blair appealed for greater public vigilance in the war on terror we breached two wire fences to stand 40ft from the plant's nerve centre - and potential disaster.
One group of activists even managed to enter Sizewell's vital Control Building for three hours. Five other campaigners scaled the 120ft dome containing the plant's reactor.
I mean, they cut through the perimeter fence to show it could be done!
So, once we get herded into the John Ashcroft Memorial Salt Mines/Rehabilitation Camp, do you think we will we be able to subscribe and read about ourselves?
