"When his twin brother Lech, who remains the nation's president, boycotted a vital meeting in Germany because a Berlin cartoonist had compared him to a potato, the same Poles didn't know whether to laugh or cry."
Not only is this the greatest reason for a leader to blow off a meeting in the history of mankind, and an event on which I would have posted about fifty times if I'd been aware of it when it happened, it always kills me whenever anyone is compared to a potato.
