EU president: smart boy wanted; not too smart

Step forward Herman van Rompuy. He might seem like the archetypical boring, bespectacled Benelux bureaucrat who always end up running these things. However, the new EU president is, apparently, an accomplished writer of haikus.

I think all comments on European matters ought to be made through this medium. In that spirit, here's mine:

Baroness Ashton.
Come on, who the fuck is she?
Please say it's a joke.
