Sexist and homophobic too...

We had a parting luncheon for Senior Advisor Ambassador Kaldir from Malaysia. Our esteemed Noble peace-prize winning Minister, Dr. Jose Ramos-Horta opened his speech to the assembled staff with the words.

"Don't cry. Crying is for gays and women".

(1pm, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, June 5).

Honestly, why do I even bother?

Just keep in mind that they gave a Nobel Peace Prize to Henry Kissinger and you'll get the general picture. (Jose is a considerably nicer guy!)

Well that's certainly true.

For his many and various crimes against humanity, participation in military coups, installation of terrorist regimes etc, Henry Kissinger can't step foot in most European states without being arrested.

Couldn't happen to anyone who deserved it more!
