1. Francoise Ducros, Prime Minister Jean Chretien's director of
communications certainly should apologize immediately -- to all morons.
Morons are a quiet, generous and peaceful breed -- many of my best
friends and relatives are morons -- and to call U.S. President George W.
Bush a moron is an insult to morons everywhere.

2. The communications officer in the Prime Minister's Office who called
President George W. Bush a "moron" had better stay away from the United
States.  The penalty for revealing state secrets is 25 years with no
parole.

Ian Cameron,
Brentwood Bay, BC
