When is a coup not a coup?

When the noddy-winky Nations of Virtue give it a nod and a wink of course.

It happened in Honduras a couple of years ago.

It happened in Paraguay just the other day.

There's a pattern when these things "happen". Look for Hillary or one of the other front-persons for the Nations of Virtue (Hague can usually be relied on to give the winky-noddy party line, as can Cameron and Harper. Sarkozy was pretty reliable but the new guy has yet to show what he's made of.)

As long as the "democratic process" was respected we're good to go.

Nod-nod wink.

And when does Arab Spring become an ill wind?

Why, when it blows into Bahrain of course.

That's a "good" dictatorship... or should I use the weasel speak "authoritarian regime"?

Nod. Wink.

Why is it that a thousand protesters in Moscow are a popular uprising but fifty thousand protesters in Montreal are spoiled brats?

Well, because those protesters in Moscow are clamoring for democracy, and as everybody knows, those protesters in Montreal already have it...

Wink, nod...
