Oh, wait, the Hungarian government is neoliberal, too! (German wine would have worked, but not Spanish or Italian)

Because, you know, Sarkozy is half-Hungarian. And therefore, it would be funny if my dislike of Sarkozy caused me to abandon French wines in favour of Hungarian ones.

Okay, it wasn't a good joke, but it somehow made sense at the time I posted the comment. I'm not quitting my day job.

It's Internationalist whining, transcending the limitations of the nation state.
