Journalists' expenses will be paid if they accompany the European Commission president on foreign trips, in a new public relations drive which will cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands of euros.
Of course, a real escort is expected to put out at the end of the evening. Will the journalists suck up to the European Commission president and provide a happy ending for the chap?
I suggest the journalists paid for their services wear kitten heels, push-up bras, and brush up on their cheese subsidy regulations to make sure they are proper company for a proper EU lord.
What a joke. The really funny thing is that the Europeans are doing this to themselves.
UPDATE: More on the Europarliament of whores. The EU Commission president denies his planned 3-hour speech (I got that from another source) is designed to bolster his image. At that length, I think we have to take him on his word. But when the EU has to buy support from European reporters, who are naturally pro-sucking up to the EU, can we all agree that the EU is a monster imposed on the people of Europe?
